Pre-damaged Apple Watch

Hey, everyone!

2 days ago I bought Apple Watch. I brought it home and opened it. As soon as it turned on I saw a white vertical line on the display. Right after seeing it, I turned off the watch and put it back in the box in order to bring it to the Apple Store.

Do you think I can go to any Apple store location in order to get replacement or do I have to go to the store where I bought it from?

And did anyone else had a problem like that?

Thank you :)
