Black sport band pin coloring flaking/pitting

[orev]

I have had my space gray watch with black sport band for about a month, and the black coloring on the closure pin has been flaking off/pitting. Has anyone else seen this on theirs?

Looks like a bad batch of anodizing. You see chipping like this on cheap Chinese LED flashlights.

Clearly defective. We've seen a few iPhones like that too and they'll swap it out.

I took it to the Apple Store and they are working on getting a replacement.
