Apple says I made modifications to my watch

Since you did not modify your watch, the reason must be the watch's poor condition. Is there a crack in the case that is not visible to the eye? Is the crown hard to work? Did it somehow get water damage?

Any condition like this can get the technicians to declare your watch totaled, not just modification. The "Genius" didn't suspect modification. I would ask the Service Center to specify the reason for their diagnosis.

I understand you are upset but try to be nice to the volunteers here. Call AppleCare back and ask to be transferred to the Customer Service department. Relate all of this to them and see if you can come to some kind of mutual agreement.

And I would strongly encourage you to speak to Customer Service.

How in the world was I rude to you? I informed you that everyone posting here is volunteering their time so try to be nice to them, they aren't paid for this. I then suggested you call back and ask to be transferred to Customer Service, the center that handles situations like this, and see if you can come to some sort of accommodation. Have you already spoken to them?

Or are you just wanting to rant?

Sounds like you should get a new watch.

Forgive me for jumping back in here, but I have one comment to make.

I thought that in my original reply I told you that other damage, not unauthorized modification, could be the reason Apple doesn't want to repair your watch. How long have you had it? Have you had it since new, or did you buy it used? Has it ever had a repair in the past, like a replacement battery?

Why do you remain fixated on unauthorized modification as the likely cause of your troubles in the face of all of the helpful contributions here?

Well, now I'm guessing you did speak to Customer Service 6 times and you were pretty much an ******* just like you are here. So I withdraw my good luck to you. "Called your childhood into question"? "Dipped below all expectations of civility"? You have got to be kidding. Use the map app on your iPhone and look up anger management counseling.

Because you say it's unusable and Apple will not pay for the repair and or replacement. You can complain all you want but it won't change anything. I'm just trying to be a realist.

I said please try to be nice, do you really describe that as disciplining someone? I have some problems being nice to her sometimes too but I'm trying to get better at it.
