According to the users on Reddit, their Watch SE becomes hot after few hours of usage, stops working properly and a yellow spot appears in the top right corner of the watch. The issue is described as:
The owner received the product on October 8. The owner slept with the watch on the wrist on October 9 night. Woke up on October 10 just to find the wrist is very hot. The owner quickly took off the watch to find the red wrist due to heat. No power signals from the watch, but the sound plays well when the watch is searched with the Find my Watch feature. The owner exchanged the device with a new product on October 16.
None of the users have disassembled the watch to find out any hardware issue related to the overheating, but some people said that this might be due to the display connector near the Taptic Engine. Furthermore, it’s not clear why the issue is only occurring to the Watch SE users in South Korea.
These problems are only caused in the specific Apple Watch SE models which are manufactured and shipped to South Korea and if this a major issue we may find it in other regions as well.
