breaks out the tattoo-gate.
The iPhone 4 had the antennagate, the iPhone 6 bendgate; Watch the Apple, however, has the tattoo-gate .
The first report, it seems to have come from Twitter, where the user Steve TS wrote: “It turns out that those with tattoos on the wrist can not use the Apple Watch Pay for Apple because it fails understand if you are alive. Beautiful! : D ‘.
The problem, however, it seems real and is due to the way in which the Apple Watch detects the flow of blood that passes in the wrist.
The fact smartwatch uses infrared and a green LED to analyze their wrist and, based on the blood flow, estimate the heartbeat. The problem is that a tattoo in that area prevents light from reaching the skin, reflecting it.
The tattoos not only interfere with the characteristics related to fitness but also seem to create problems with standard notifications.

“The clock stops each time the screen is off and he asks me the password. I do not receive notifications. Mainly because I did not understand why I was sure that the clock did not lose contact with the skin, “ writes a user of Reddit, who finally manages to unravel the mystery: ” The arm where I have the tatuagg ‘clock remains unlocked. But when I put it back on the area with tattoos made with black ink is automatically locked again, “.
As the reports of similar experiences come, the picture becomes clearer: tattoos blacks and dark red prevent the Apple Watch to understand that he is still on the wrist, and therefore it locks to prevent unwanted access. Article more after the video.
The problem does not seem to be of interest to those who have tattoos done with less intense colors, and therefore should cover a minority of users, unlike the bendgate and dell’antennagate.
However, even if the persons concerned were very few, in many already complain loudly of a product so expensive that you stop by one thing after all trivial as a tattoo.
