Wow you just purposely ordered a replacement iPad just for better battery health?! Has the graphite replacement Apple Watch came yet?
I guess my post wasn't clear. I accidentally sat on my iPad and cracked the screen; was a dumb idea to set it on the couch. Anyway, the battery was fine. And if i needed a new battery, why would I pay $49 for a iPad repair/replacement when I could get the issue remedied for free with AppleCare? 🙄

I still think it's odd that they would replace the whole iPad instead of simply replacing the screen. I wonder if they do the same for the battery as with the watch. Or is this a special Express Replacement thing? Speaking of watch, the replacement S7 is great and I see no compelling reason to get a newer model.

It is a thing with express replacements; whatever hardware incident you report with Apple and they believe that it is impossible for them to repair it or if you elect not to do a repair or replacement of the component, they send you a replacement for a fee. I agree your Apple Watch Series 7 graphite if it’s has micro scratches on the case and no cracks, that is just purely cosmetic damage. Just don’t mind it too much until you see that it really needs to be replaced.
 
Lavender grey sport band!

@Simpletech22 I have the problem you have with your clover sport band, with this lavender grey band! I almost can’t get it on my watch and the three connector things are already scratched from trying two times. I have the clover sport band too and that one slides easily on my jet black series 10.

@richard13 happy belated birthday! So cool indeed 😃

My Watch.jpg

So, here is breakdown on my watch that works for me. Upper Left we have the current weather where I am at. Middle upper is of course the day and date. Finishing up on top is my Thermostat reading in my apartment. In. the middle is my schedule, and you can see I have clear day. At the bottom left we have a continual read out of my pulse rate, in the middle is the battery level, and to the bottom right are my steps I took.

Some relief to find out others have similar issues. I thought I was the only unlucky one. Must be a batch that gets precise manufacturing.

I'm not sure why they essentially sent me a brand new iPad with 100% battery health (refurb) when all I needed was a screen. But for $20 more I'll take it! 😀

The new completely black one. I bought it in addition to the original blue ocean band.
With the natural titanium lugs? I did not even know they had it; I thought it is exclusive to the all black Ultra 2. But the all-black is cool if you do not mind not seeing the Ultra Orange tab and lighter color.
