Got myself a Series 6 for XMAS and I am loving it. While applying a screen protector I found "bubbles" on the screen too. Not like air bubbles in the crystal ..more like dents and bubbles on the backside where the screen is laminated on. I checked my kid's Apple watches and the all seem to have it to a certain degree. So it seems kind of normal/common. Would be grateful for your expertise since I don't want to make a fuzz with Apple care only to find out that the replacement has the same thing.
(Tried to make a picture but it doesn't show).
 
If you are talking about what you see when you hold the watch at an angle under very bright light then I would say it is normal. If you see something during normal use, no that isn’t normal.

Lots of threads about this. It’s not uncommon and has been a ‘feature’ on every generation. All of my watches have had it, to some degree. Only shows up when the screen is black and under direct, strong, light. I wouldn’t worry about it.
 
I also have bubbles on my Apple series 6 is this really normal? i just checked my series 2 and it does not have this at all. is it worth exchanging? Or is there a good chance that if I exchange it the new one will also have it ?

If it bothers you and you can readily see it all the time, exchange it. If you can only see it in extreme instances, I wouldn't worry with it.
