It's not possible for us non-medical professionals who can't see the issue to make a diagnosis.
What I can tell you is that if I sleep with my wrist under my body, the watch leaves a mark from the pressure. It goes a way in a while.
Also, there are people who have allergies or skin rashes as a result of wearing watches (of any kind). Leaving the wrist uncovered for a number of hours so that it can dry and breath helps prevent that.
It’s happened often enough the multiple physicians have posted videos on YouTube about it. Here’s a short 30 second one.

Please make an appointment with your primary care physician and get a diagnosis of your condition. Your Dr. may refer you to an allergist or dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
Probably the most common reason is an allergic reaction to nickel. Nickel is used in the hardening process of stainless steel, aluminum and sapphire crystal.
>>In fact, it is estimated that more than 18 percent of people in North America are allergic to nickel, including 11 million children in the U.S.<<

A visit to an allergist or dermatologist will get it cleared up. They may recommend you reduce contact, use a cover etc. Please let us know what the diagnosis is. 😀
