  1. First aid

    Made Feb 28, 2018, sent to the company May 10, 2018, published by CPSC May 24, 2018

    The product, in the report: Belkin apple watch band in 42mm called blacktop by the manufacturer as it is black on top and grey aginst the skin. Double clasp to insure it isnt lost or falls off.

    On or about 12Feb18 I purchased a belkin F8W730btC00 (apple watch 42mm watch band) in black. After a few days i noticed an itchy spot on the inside of my wrist with a red welt spot just under the band clasp. I stopped useage. Washed the band with dial gold antibacterial soap and air dry. Around the 23Feb18 i begain waering said band again. By the 24Fed18 I developed the same issue on the inside of the wrist. Move the watch back on the wrist and developed another area of irritation (pictured). I contacted the manufacturer belkin and have gotten the run around and now speaking with the corporate office case number [REDACTED] i may have to be seen by a doctor as my purchase has been validated. Picture of the wrist injury has thier band and “wave” design impression in mt skin during pictures.
