Do these lines show when the screen is on? I can see them. Never seen this particular aberration before.
I can see them when I'm outside and when ye display is off

And at an angle. The lines are on both the top and bottom
I can see the vertical lines your referring too. Strange. Never see that before. It also looks like a vertical scratch on the lower left hand corner of the display too. That's not good if you received two defective Watches, You can still return it and try for a third time. I would contact Apple first and see what they say.
Thanks for the assistance haha. I actually wasn't sure if I should contact them or not but I will. And where on the lower left haha
It just looks like a vertical scratch on the lower right corner (I didn't mean say left).
Perhaps it is. It's white though, which looks like a surface scratch. Hard to tell.
It is I just checked the Watch
I was thinking that would be bad luck with scratches on the display and those vertical lines.
I don't think a cloth is going to take those lines away. If you look at the display, they are matched perfectly even. It almost looks like it's embedded in the display.
Such a shame. I'd be speaking to a manager and swing a free band for the inconvenience.
I'm doing that Monday because I've also had problems with my beats pill plus and now my watch. It's really frustrating.
How did you go with your watch issue? Was it a fault they replaced with a new watch?
I had my space grey sports watch replaced after being sent away, and one afternoon whilst cleaning my watch I noticed the same lines. To the naked eye they look like tiny dashes that make up the vertical lines.

They actually had maybe 10 employees comparing their watches lol and it turns out it’s normal and they believe it’s from the force touch on the watch. I’ve checked all three models of the watch OG AW Series 1 and series 2. All had them. Harder to see on the older ones
Thanks for that! I had thought it was too uniform and all to be a defect. Also the fact that it's in perfect working order other than that.
Hope that your Apple Watch is going well. I can't do without mine at all!
Cheers

14 days warranty? Where I live,Apple stores usually have a one year hardware warranty. Of course,this might be because our consumer laws.
Well,guess it depends on where you bought it,in my country,it's a one month return period,and if it's a warranty issue,it's usually 12 months,if we don't pay for extra warranty.
