Apple watch struggles to deal with tattooed wrists

The Apple Watch is not working properly for some users — and it is because of their tattoos.

Early buyers of the iPhone maker’s first smartwatch — which can cost anything up to €18,500 — have taken to social media to report issues with some of their device’s features when placed on wrists decorated with tattoos.

Dark ink is said to disrupt and confuse some of the sensors in the underside of the device that track when the watch is being worn, and also to monitor heart rate.
