I've only had my apple watch series 10 titanium for a week and today I noticed dirt between the glass and the case that is hard to get off. Is this going to be an issue with this watch?

I had this issue on my watch and was able to get rid of it with the pointy end of a floss pick. Just run it under cold water during/after to help flush it out. doesn‘t hurt the glass or titanium.

You can also try a small yellow sticky note. That may help too. Good luck!

Easy to get out with suggested methods. I have found clear scotch tape works well, kind of working it in at an angle (this happens on iPhones I had over the years too)... But be prepared, dirt/lint will get in there again and again, there is just enough gap to allow this, you will be doing this process the entire time you own it. Might just consider getting another while in exchange period with a more evenly placed/installed sapphire lens fitting with the casing.

Are you sure that’s dirt? It looks like metal. I don‘t think the screen is centered on the frame. Apple Watches usually have very tight tolerances. I would probably return it.
