So I just found my watch has a small bulge on AMOLED screen.
It seems like internal parts has poked the panel away from the inside. :roll eyes:
There's no problem on screen operation, but it just bothers me.

I'm going to visit apple store near my home to surprise a genius.

Yeah, you might have to wait for the replacement.

Yeah from other comments I've seen I think you'll have to wait for another to be shipped to you but I wouldn't compromise on this. If it were me I'd make them ship the new one and let me keep the one I had until the new one came in.

Sorry to hear about this OP. Hopefully you can get a quick replacement at the Apple Store

Some users have reported that Apple Stores do have replacement units available. Make a genius bar appointment i'd say.

At least not from my experience.

It all depends on the store. The proximity to a major location helps but... And I am 100% certain as I have had issues with iPhone 5, 6+ and mini during supply constraints... If they do not have it they WILL let you keep yours until the new one comes in.

I don't think you understand, but Apple strictly sold stock through its online distribution. It never shipped any stock to retail stores like it did with the iPhone. Not even for customer service purposes. I was told that stores will soon have them in stock though. I was promised a new replacement even after my return period expired by the store manager as soon as they get them.
