I strongly recommend purchasing the AppleCare+ as it’s still available for purchase for your watch on the iPhone.I don’t even know where workouts start and end sometimes I bike all day. Haha. My series six survived it.
For some reason I have 9 days to sign up for Apple care. Just my humor. “You now know our products break from within, would you like to pay us money to insure we still take care of them when we are not legally obliged to do so anymore?”
With my old Apple Watch 10 I had issues putting the watch bands in on the top side. This one feels normal in that regard. Maybe the old one was just coated horrendously.
You never know if a defect will occur again.
I also had another S10 jet black wearer that ran into the same problem as you, read this thread and followed the same advice we discussed here.
Spreading the word about it.
