Can Apple Watch cause wrist pain?

Human anatomy is a bit more variable than most of us think. Some people have their main nerves enervating their hands is in a slightly different place. They can be more sensitive to something pressing on their wrist. While you're waiting for the doctor's appointment, you might try switching the watch to your other wrists. We're also not completely symmetric.

Good advice for an octopus! LOL

M1 Mac mini, macOS 15.3;  Watch, series 10 GPS-only, watchOS 11.3; iPhone 16, iOS 18.3; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 18.3; HomePods, audioOS 18.3 and Airport Express w/ Airplay 2

It's unlikely that your watch is the root cause. Contact your physician and Apple Support (getsupport.apple.com)

Octopi don't wear Apple Watches. They move their tentacles around too much and it messes up the step count.

They also don’t exactly have ‘joints’…
