Hi everyone! I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for a long time. But for as long as I recall having a watch I’ve wore it a bit too tight, but never really thought twice. It’s left a pretty big indent in my arm. And I’m wondering if it’ll ever recover? I believe it’s starting to actually cause wrist pain and grip issues but I am doing exams right now so I’ll have to wait to see if that’s what’s causing it and not my watch. I really just want to know if the indent will leave after a while and if not how to help it be less noticable (and if my grip has been affected, a way to help that too).

Let your wrist breathe. Damn.

The sensors are pretty good. A little bit of wiggle room isn’t going to lead to cruddy data. Unless you’re very active, there’s no real need to clamp the watch to your wrist so hard.

Personal rule of thumb for any watch is to still be able to just about fit my pinky finger through the strap while it’s on my wrist.
