It absolutely is exhausting. True OCD is no joke. I don’t get too bothered by people using the acronym colloquially to say someone is a perfectionist. However, I think it does downplay how hard and real the illness truly is.

I don’t know if you’re really asking. I’m assuming you were being facetious. Either way, I’ll be a voice to speak up about mental illness.
I was actually asking, because as you say, I can only imagine how tiring it must be. And how frustrating it must be for the term to be thrown around so easily as a way for people to make a dig at others.

i had a couple of spots too, until I wiped them off.

I really don’t think this watch is for a lot of “Apple-types”. Honestly, and I’m not intending to sound rude at all, but if little tiny things like this will bother you, you really should return it. This watch is meant to be USED. It’ll get marks, it may get scratched, it will definitely get dirty if actually used. If little marks are going to be an issue, this isn’t the watch for you.

Or, keep this watch and accept it’ll happen, use this watch for outdoor activities, and use other watches for other occasions.

This sounds way more crass than what’s in my head. I’ve deleted and re-written this like four times because I don’t want to be “that guy”. I would rather see people do what’s best for them so they aren’t spending a day of regret. Do what’s best for you.
Completely agree with you, it is meant to be used by putting in max efforts doing sports you love, it will get scratched/dinged etc.

But the Tech youtube review/follower crowd is quite a wide demographic and some with almost OCD like traits regarding imperfections/wear and tear, i would suggest to them to keep the AW Ultra mint in the box and just watch the box sitting on the shelf and sometimes just hold the box and feel the weight. It would be only right.
 
Unfortunately these marks seem
to be prevalent on the Ultra. I have 2 tiny ones on my watch.I’m still going through the keep v return.

This one is swaying me towards a return because I haven’t done anything overly active (couple of 4-5 mile runs in sunny weather) and these marks are not a great look. I can only imagine would it may look like after a couple swims and or runs on the beach.
Did you return it?
