thanks, yeah, it's being swapped. but will it be happening again? the apple support people on the phone seemed like they had no idea it was happening.
Yep, there's a few threads on this. I use a Luvvitt Ultra Armor and it protects the front but by design the back is covered and so far the lettering is still thereWow I didn't know about this issue. Thanks for pointing it out.
All is well on my watch thankfully.
It's weird though. The senior advisor had to check with the "engineers" and whatever they determined, they made it sound like they were doing me this huge favor by swapping it out. I don't know how they would "fix" this issue if they are manufacturing it the same way. And for this watch, I think putting a case on it takes away the whole functionality of it. I dunno... Just wanted to share my experience. It's just weird Apple would be careless with this. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge apple fan. But this is just beyond me.
I saw that...but these watches are brand new. One purchased Saturday night and one on Sunday night
So fresh out of the box they are different
Isn't that about the space grey models having the colour rubbing off? OP sounds like he's saying both his friends bought silver sport models (with the white sport band) and one silver watch has silver lettering, while the other silver watch has black lettering. Unless I'm not understanding his post correctly

Thanks for posting those pictures. It's very interesting as the text does not appear to be engraved any longer, rather printed on the anodized finish.
Likely there is more than one location where the aluminum watches are finished. That may account for the difference.
