Wrist pain advice needed
Got a tip for us? Let us know
Good evening I was lucky enough to pick up a AW S6 in stainless steel graphite. I love the watch however it seems to be hurting my wrists I've tried several different bands however the pain is still there. Forgot to mention I have a 6.9 inch wrist and own 44mm model. I'm now starting to wonder could the size or weight of the SS being causing any problems. I really love the watch but the pain issue is really starting to bug me. Any help and advice would be really appreciated.
If you're not used to wearing a watch all day you might have to figure out a way to work through it or maybe the S6 isn't for you.. I've worn watches of all weights and sizes over the last 45 years and the 44mm S6 is one of my lighter watches, that being said I've never had any sort of pain from any watch I've owned. Maybe you're wearing the band too tight?

Show us a photo of the wrist with watch on.
Thank you guys I'll send a photo later, however it seems to be the square design or size.!! I have 6.9 inch wrists however due to motor neurone disease I've lost a lot of muscle mass in my arms. I really love the watch so was thinking of trying the 40mm size. If there is anyone with the 40mm on here I would appreciate your opinions please.?

I had wrist pain with the 6 but none with the 5 or 4. It's weird because as near as I can tell the design is the same. It is SS vs Aluminum but hard to believe that just being a little bit harder is it.
My guess is that because of Covid, I'm working from home and the angle on the desk, combined with the volume of time working at it, that the watch hit a nerve / pressure point often enough to hurt. Whereas before it was under the limit. The watch's battery life probably helped too as it would be on the charger for an hour meaning at most a couple of hours wearing it in a workday at the home desk.
