Yep! Here’s my original work authorization email and the watch I got yesterday. The language mentioning the Series 4 in the email is just a result of my acknowledging there was a chance they would be upgrading the watch, not that it was guaranteed.

what can we do to replicate the defect to our current Applewatch ss -S3

You don't replicate it, it just happens. His problem happened to my Series 0 twice, one repaired under AppleCare and the second well into year 3 and the Apple Store replaced it at no charge even though it was out of warranty. Has not happened to my Series 3 yet, but low key hoping it does before September.

Those surprises are always just that - surprises. Shortages of replacement models are something Apple tires very hard to resolve, so they're pretty unpredictable, and not something you should count on.
