Ughhhhh.
I’m kicking myself. Thank you guys. At least I know what was going wrong now.
Head to the Apple store, and explain what transpired. They might show some mercy, seeing how this is your first watch.Ughhhhh.I’m kicking myself. Thank you guys. At least I know what was going wrong now.
Why should Apple replace his watch because of user error? It's perfectly usable with a couple minor cosmetic blemishes. Things that would happen after a while naturally in everyday use. And if he decides the watch isn't worth the money Apple is usually very lenient when it comes to returns.
Apple extends some mercy, and the user may end up buying other products in the future, that far exceeds the cost of Apple replacing the watch for him. From that perspective, it could be a win for Apple.Why should Apple replace his watch because of user error? It's perfectly usable with a couple minor cosmetic blemishes.

Because Apple has been known to help out people who made an "honest" mistake.

Agreed, it would be a good idea to make it so that they only fit one way.You know, I've never put the band on upside down, but I am surprised we do not see a lot more examples of this. Maybe not on a macrumors type forum, but in general. Apple should have designed the bands so it is impossible to put on backwards.
Not saying the design is bad, just saying it could have been improved, if it couldn't attach upside down.
I agree with you.Yes Apple does on occasion forgive an honest mistake. But it should not be an expectation.
I do not change bands often but when I do I push both ways to make sure the lug is locked to the band.

I don't think anyone is debating that.Sounds like user error to me. You didn't even put the band correctly.
I agree with giving the Apple Store a try. I'd be honest and what happened.

They did. The band will get no lock when you slide it into the watch "upside-down". I tried it. This is a very weird mistake to be honest.
