  • Bay Area senior's Apple Watch leaves red rash; replacement offered after TV intervention
    January 10, 2026, 12:10 AM EST. San Leandro, Calif. - A 90-year-old Bay Area resident says her Apple Watch caused a red, lasting mark on her wrist. Anita De Marais wore the device for safety alerts but woke up in October with a big red spot that persisted for weeks. She says a Pleasanton Apple Store offered only a $130 discount to buy a new watch. After 7 On Your Side intervened, the store provided a replacement at no cost two days later. Apple notes its materials include nickel and acrylates, and that some people may react to such substances. De Marais is glad to have her device back for tracking health and emergencies.
