They were already taking time to look for faults to the new apple watch And it seems that when the company with the bitten apple takes out a new device we don't have to stop to see its virtues and recognize the engineering study behind it but try to find flaws and criticize it.

In this case, the cry has been raised when it became known that the sensors are not capable of satisfactorily measuring the heart rate if the person wearing the Apple Watch He has tattoos on his wrist in the area of ​​contact of the sensors with the skin.

Apple has had to step out and explain why. They have had to confirm that this situation really occurs and the users with tattoos on the wrist will observe errors in reading heart rate:

Temporary or permanent changes to the skin, such as some tattoos, can also affect the performance of the heart rate sensor. The ink, pattern, and saturation of some tattoos can block light from the sensor, making it difficult to obtain reliable readings.

Therefore, if what we were waiting for was a solution on the part of Apple, it is not like that and those of Cupertino what they do is throw the ball to the roof of each of those users who are part of a minority, saying that tattoos with inks Dark and oversized not only affect Apple Watch sensors but also to other sensors that work with the same philosophy.
