Quick question!

I purchased a Midnight Blue Sports Strap for my 42mm Space Grey Apple Watch Sport, 2 days ago from an Apple Store, however, I don't actually like the colour as much as I thought I would.

I have only worn the strap for one day, but I have decided that I don't actually like it. Is there any way Apple Online Support would allow me to exchange it for a different, same priced band (like one of the Nylon ones)?

I am unlikely to return back to the store as it is not local but wondered whether or not Support would send me something, in order to send it back?

I think the store would be the best option. My Old Apple watch blue Sport band stained and they exchanged it for a different colour.

I contacted Apple Online Support via their Chat function and they have given me the Sales Support phone number to call them on to find out what my options are.

So after spending time in another thread deciding whether to get the midnight blue, you bought it and now decided to return it?

No. Buy another one.

I know - that was stupid!! :oops:

The midnight blue actually looks better in pictures (looks alot darker, almost black like), however, when I purchased it, in reality, it is a lot brighter - more like a light navy blue than 'midnight'!

I have decided to keep it anyway - probably not worth the hassle of returning it!

It does darken slightly (not from dirt) over time though. Mine looks almost black apart from when in sunlight or bright internal light. Give it a chance, I bet you will like it after a month or so of use.
