Space black link wearing out

[Paint2215]

I highly doubt this. Only certain links are affected. Mine, affected two links that had very little contact with my wrist.

My defects were on the outside where the watch had come in contact with the desk or computer.

from what I've noticed, all (or at least most) of these 'peelings' are on the inside of the watch band? maybe its a manufacturing defect that's reacting with sweat from our skin?

- for those of you that have had replacement bands - how long did they take to arrive? Thanks!

my replacement bands arrived, 3 days isn't a bad turn around.

best thing about getting a replacement band... getting a nice box for it

That's the first I've seen them ship the space black in a retail-style box. Sweet! (now you have that for storage when you're swapped out to another band)

WOW! Nice storage box!

Wow, That's surprising! I wouldn't expect it to start showing wear already!

I returned my Space Black Link to the Apple Store yesterday.

I was one of the first to get mine and I don't have that issue. Definitely seems like a defect.

So cool! Being a total nerd right here, but what's the outer packaging like? Anything resembling the retail box for the silver link bracelet?

I think it's the same box as when you buy the silver link bracelet.
