LED Concerns on blaze

[paulajoyhambo]

Hi there. I got my blaze for a Mother's Day present and have worn it religiously since then. However, I've noticed 2 red marks that look like bites on my wrist where the LED lights sit on my watch. I have had some discomfort with it too. Not sure what to do about it.

The problem shouldn't be caused by the lights. Fitbit says:

"ARE THE PUREPULSE LEDS SAFE?

Allergy to visible light is extremely rare and the PurePulse LED lights are on the visible spectrum, similar to the lights in your home or office. The LED lights have very low power so they won't burn your skin, and they're programmed to shut down if your device freezes or can't find a signal. If epilepsy or any other condition makes you sensitive to flashing lights, you can turn the LEDs off."

Could it be that you are wearing it a little too tight?

I'll try and post a photo of it. It's very clear it's from the LED's. 

im not sure about too tight. Cool you'd be. I don't like it wobbling around on my wrist. But I don't like it too tight either. 

Either way, I wouldn't expect marks like bites on my skin where the LED's sit

I was just thinking that the back of the Blaze where the lights are is raised slightly so if it were too tight then this is where you'd notice it most.

But you could be right, it may not be to do with tightness. Perhaps you are having some form of allergy and it may be best to stop using it.
