According to a user who anonymously provided information to Apple-related media 9to5Mac, he noticed that the Apple Watch was much hotter than usual one day. After that, the back of Apple Watch cracked, and he received a warning notification from watchOS that ``it is necessary to shut down due to high temperature''. According to this user, the Apple Watch was placed in a cool house with a temperature slightly above 70 degrees Fahrenheit (about 21 degrees Celsius).

After receiving this warning, the user immediately calls Apple Support and explains the situation. In support, after being passed around between the people in charge several times, he reached the manager who was involved in creating the case and promised a detailed investigation. However, it seems that no advice or solution to the problem was presented, and the user said that he was only instructed, 'Do not touch Apple Watch until contacted by Apple.'
However, the next morning, the situation was even worse, and the Apple Watch was even hotter, and the heat cracked the display.
A video showing the state of the Apple Watch that is about to explode while raising the noise and smoke has also been released.
When I took a picture of the situation and tried to send it to Apple, it immediately started crackling and exploded at the moment the user who felt danger threw the Apple Watch out of the window.

The user seems to have headed to the emergency room for fear of lead poisoning, but 9to5Mac notes that 'Apple Watch does not contain enough lead to cause lead poisoning.'
After that, when the user contacted Apple again and informed the situation, Apple's manager promised to work on this matter with 'highest priority'. And it seems that he was told that he would give the latest information by the following Monday, but he did not contact me even after Monday, and he finally contacted me after the deadline, but said, 'Please send the Apple Watch that had the problem to Apple. It seems that there was only an instruction 'I want it' and there was no explanation as to what happened. At this time, Apple seems to have asked the user to sign a document asking him not to talk to anyone about the Apple Watch explosion, and the user refused this, telling 9to5Mac about the series of disturbances. reported it.
