I only wear my Blaze during the day. After a few months of wear I noticed that I had a burn on my wrist. I loosened the band and now I see a white mark where the heart monitor and burn mark was. This is consistent regardless of the length of wear.  I had a Charge2 for over a year with no problems. Being that they both have heart monitors I am confused by this change in my skins response. I noticed others have had this problem as well. Any resolutions or solutions?

I have the same problem. The only fix I know is to only wear it during day on one wrist and night on the other. Or 8 hours 1 wrist and 8 hours the other and leave off during sleep. You will need to change the setting from dominant to non dominant though. 

 

I will also mention, I have an apple watch that burns me too.
