Hi, I bought the Apple Watch with the Classic Leather Band and it has this squeaky sound which is kind of annoying. Has anyone else experienced this? Will this go away after a "break-in" or should I head over to the apple store for them to possible replace it?

Thanks

leather will break in. Your replacement band would do the same, no point replacing it.

Though please explain the squeaky sound, and when you hear it most? I'll try to replicate on the AW I have at home.

So I have used the watch all day long and the squeaking sound has gone away. I think it just needed some breaking in. The noise was where the band met the band adapter. However now I'm noticing that the band adapter is not flush to the case. I'll put a separate thread to discuss that.
