You have it mixed up...the OP is saying the SS has a better screen.
You have mixed it up, he didn't mention anything about the sport model. He is comparing apples to apples, SS and SS.

My guess is the coating. The sport screen will be nicer to look at than the SS, but there should be no real difference between two SSs
I wanted to update and thank everyone for the responses!
And to clarify, absolutely, these were both SS watches.
I am definitely returning it.
On brightness level 1, the two watches were very similar.
However, on level 2 and 3, it was almost like this new one with sport strap didn't even increase brightness, at least not to the level that the other watch increases with each step up.
I'm just not sure I will ever win the lottery and get a good one again (like my family member has).
Wish me luck and thanks again!
This happens with all of Apples products.
Because of the large volume of sales, Apple needs to have multiple suppliers of displays, and multiple locations of manufacture.
This is going to cause a wide variance in quality.
If you don't think yours is right, play the lottery and exchange.
My SGS's display is very bright on max, and the colours are very rich. The Crown also spins freely, maybe a little too freely.
Only real issue I've had is the Force touch can be hit and miss, but that's most likely software.
Bumping this as I know members who were interested and asking for a link to this thread. (I use tapatalk so can't just post the link)

They should all be the same quality for the money you pay, you make it sound like its normal and should just accept it. . People should not settle for anything less than what they deserve.
It is normal, and there's nothing that can prevent it. Can't accept it? Don't buy electronics, clothes, shoes, etc. they will all vary from plant to plant, day to day. That's manufacturing.
There's a variation and then there's complete differences. If having a screen that is drastically inferior to another is due to "a different supplier" then apple needs to get rid of said supplier and customers should return their watches. NOT accept it.
