Fake Apple Watch box?

[skywavesli]

Purchased a used Apple Watch and everything seems in order (including serial number on it matching the box, and validating on Apple's website) however, on the label of the box, it says "apple.com" between "Designed by Apple in California" and "Made in China" (photo attached).

Never seen such "apple.com" text before and while I've found photos of this on a few other boxes, almost all boxes I've seen does not include "apple.com" on it. Perhaps it is because this is a European box.

Thoughts?

If you bought the watch knowing it was used, and if the watch works as expected … do you really care about the box?

If you’re going to wear the watch, toss the box.

If you’re going to re-re-re-resell the watch to somebody who’s going to care about the box … maybe find a better line of business? There have to be other ways for you to earn a living than something as shady as selling used Apple watch boxes of questionable authenticity.

It's normal, my S7 box had it too.

Thank you, that's what I figured as well, as long as the watch is authentic the box should not matter. Just raised a red flag. Appreciate the reassurance!

Greatly appreciate the confirmation! This is an S7 as well. Wonder why Apple varies their boxes in this manner, and in exactly what manner they do.
