Watch replaced in store?

[jekim]

Has anyone had their watch replaced in store yet? I am having haptic feedback issues and I wanted to see if anyone was successful in getting an in store replacement vs the mail in route.

I think it depends on which model you have and if it is in stock. Others have said that Apple is doing repairs rather than passing out another watch. I am thinking each store may differ.

Apple isn't normally stocking white box replacements for the Watch (unlike other iDevices to date); however, a few members have managed to obtain immediate replacements through other means.

The normal expectation is to go in knowing you might have to send it off to the depot.

I was given an instore replacement in the Belfast (UK) store for my SGS.

SGS, just had to have it sent in because store didn't stock them; I'd suggest advanced replacement through AC+ and the phone if you have that option.

Ok thanks for the input. I'm taking it into them today. I just don't know if it's an issue or not. I usually keep my sport band on the 4th or 5th notch for comfort. If I use the 3rd notch the taps feel stronger but it's uncomfortably tight on my arm and I don't think that is what Apple had in mind for that feature. It's hard to tell what the taps are supposed to feel like normally.
