> What did I expect? That with millions of people globally having tattoos that Apple would have assesed that their sensors would manage, or if not, fully disclose that they don't, and not leave it to be discovered after that fact. Tatts are not new and they are common. I see this is a clear and obvious expectation, along with natural skin colours, and skin anomalies.
I would estimate that it is a quite small fraction of folks with tattoos that have one in position to block the watch, and more specifically one with an "offending" ink in that location.
I agree that it would be reasonable for in-store workers to educate in-store customers with regard to tattoos on the wrist(s). But so far, Apple Watch sales have been online, and some buyers haven't even seen one, tried one on, or been seen in a store, as a possible watch buyer.
Making LEDs that shine through opaque pigments, and sensors that sense light through opaque pigments … was simply not on their menu of options.
