I have a stainless S2 and noticed there appears to be some blemishes underneath the crystal that sort of resemble oil or gas spots you'd see on the road. Pretty sure I've seen people post pics here of something similar and makes me think there's a chance some separation or something is occurring between the crystal and screen. It's definitely beneath the crystal.

Anyway, I have a few months left of AppleCare and was considering contacting Apple. Haven't made any claims yet on the watch over the last 1 1/2+ years or so. Do people find it easier to go to a store for this sort of thing, or chat online and perhaps send it in? Unlike the iphone, I can certainly do without my watch for any length of time. I assume I'd send it in and have them send me a replacement if it's damaged for whatever the deductible is.

I was also curious, for those of you who have gotten a replacement - should I expect that like the iPhone replacements the watch will have an entirely new housing and battery? I think I recall some people saying sometimes it seems that way, but other times they've gotten replacements with some minor scuffing on the case.

Thanks
