Apple Watch Series 6 Nike Edition 44mm Space Gray - Issue with paint coming off the band release buttons after 3 months!?

my apple watch series 6 space gray aluminum has a paint defect issue, Is anyone else finding the apple watch band release buttons have premature paint defect? It’s like the paint is wearing after 3 months! How could this be possible for a premium product especially from Apple and the fact that this is the first time this has ever happened to me after using almost most of the series bar one, series 5. Now I have the Series 6 and this almost cheap finish on the buttons obviously some cost effective strategy and the consumer ends up with Apple not taking responsibility for this huge issue! Well if I don’t get a new unit I am going to consumer council as I am not satisfied with this! Please see photo below and please send a reply if you are facing the same issue with your new Apple Watch Series 6 where the paint is coming off the release buttons on the underside of the watch that releases the band? Please respond and send photos as well. Perhaps if more of us ask for help we will receive help!?
