I bought Samsung Gear S3 last September. Since then, whenever I touch anything metal, especially steel/iron, I get minute electric currents, near my elbow, forearms, and fingertips.
For example, I was walking in the mall; it had metal (steel) railings. I touch them and I experience currents on my fingertips. It only happens once or twice out of 15-20 tries, but it does. One more example, when I wash my hands after eating lunch in office, the taps are of steel (metal), I get small shocks as well when I turn on the tap. And before getting one, especially before washing my hands, I could sense that I'm gonna experience electric shock. And the intensity of this shock is much bigger than walking in the mall touching the metal railing. One could distinctly hear the noise.
When I walk with my friends and when accidentally arms touch each other, we both get small currents. This happens particularly in the vicinity of a metal. Walking on the road or in the jungle doesn't give me any such thing (maybe I'm grounded enough?).
Does this have to do anything with my psyche or is it because of smartwatch? It never happened to me before wearing one. This happened with me when I was in Croatia, India, and Poland. So, it is not related to any country or any specific setup.
If it is solely because of smartwatch, then why do I get that intuitive feeling before getting one?
Have you heard/experienced any such incident before? I ignored it initially, but now, it's scaring the sh*t out of me as it has started happening quite frequently, almost twice in 2-3 days.
I Googled about it and found something called as "triboelectric effect".
Now when such thing happens, I feel like Raiden or Storm.
