Got a tip for us?

I have been wearing the SS model for several years and have never had a problem with staining. I do not go swimming with my watch on.
Never had a problem with stains. It’s not recommended to shower with it though as soap can damage the device.
Thank you, guys! I don't swim or bathe with my Watch. But I go hiking with the device and, when I arrive, I take it out of my arm and wash it only with running water taking off the sweat.
The back glass is sapphire, I’ve been showering with my S4 on for over 2.5 years and no stain
but that's not on the glass, it's on the case ... have you tried soap in that spot?
I thought this place was glass too. I tried detergent. It got better, but I couldn't remove all the stain.
Yeah, I've tried everything and the stain doesn't come out. Can this be Apple's exchange matter under warranty?
I get theses stains all the time and was afraid at first. I didn't know what I was doing wrong compared to others. And to be honest I still don't know it for real. At one point I took my watch to Apple and they couldn't find out what causes them either. My guess is that it might come from creams and lotions in my case. I use hand creams a lot during the day, especially since Covid with the constant hand washing.
I really thought I had stained my Watch, because it didn't come out with just water. I had to take a microfiber cloth with a little detergent and rub it. It came out completely. As you said, I'm constantly washing my hands, but when I see that a little soap falls on Watch, I immediately put it under the tap to remove the soap and not let it dry. And hand creams I pass only when I go to sleep and remove the clock for it. I don't know what that stain did on my device, but the important thing is that it came out.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I didn't get them off with regular light cleaning either. I really had to put some effort into it. Mine really had some funny markings. They almost looked like scribbled letters. At some point I even thought they came from the inside and were caused by water damage or were burned in from heat.

Sorry, I didn't state that clear enough. I managed to clean the watch in the end. This is an old picture that I took before I sent the watch to Apple.
