Hi all, this is my Series 9 Apple Watch stainless steel with sapphire glass. Unfortunately, you can see how my screen looks like. The problem is, I don’t know how this has happened. First, I noticed small blue mark at the top of the screen back in March but I thought that I hit the screen in my bed during sleep.
However, this blue mark got bigger in the past few months and recently second mark has appeared at the bottom of the screen. There is even a blue mark on the back of the watch. There are also many water spots/stains on the screen which I cannot remove. I haven’t hit the watch on a wall or something or doing anything wrong to damage it but you can see the results. Usually I do daily some basic exercises for about 10-15 minutes and then I wash it with normal water just to clean the sweat. I cannot imagine that washing it with water could to this damage, having the fact that the watch was designed to swim with it.
My question is, how common is this kind of problem especially on a sapphire screen being used lass than a year? Is there anyone having these blue marks and permanent water spots on the watch and how do you deal with them? What can I do in my situation? It’s still under a warranty, bought in October 2023 from Apple reseller in Bulgaria. Any advice and help are welcomed. Thank you.
