User Reports Severe Skin Injury
A user of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro posted on Reddit, detailing burns and blisters on their arm after wearing the smartwatch overnight. The user stated the watch was fully charged before bed and its battery was completely depleted by morning. The device subsequently failed to power on.
Potential Overheating Indication
The rapid depletion of the 590mAh battery suggests the watch may have generated significant heat, leading to the reported burns. While skin irritation like contact dermatitis is common with wearables, the presence of blisters in this report is a new concern.
Previous Incidents and Context

Past reports have involved models such as the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch Ultra 2, and Galaxy Watch 8, as well as the Galaxy Ring. However, the severity of the injury described in this Watch 5 Pro incident appears more significant than previous complaints.
