Red line between Display and Frame on Apple Watch SE 44mm

Hi all,


in direct sunlight, I spotted somewhat like a red „line“ above the Display of my SE between Display and the glas.

I never saw this line before and as I mentioned it’s only visible in direct sunlight.


On my Series 3, I can‘t see such a line.

Is this „normal“?

Hello aburger,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities! 


We understand that you are seeing a red line at the top of your Apple Watch. We’ll be happy to help get you pointed in the right direction.


You can take your watch into a store for evaluation. The technician that examines the watch will be able to let you know what’s happening.


You can find locations close to you by going to Apple - Find Locations and you will want to schedule an appointment before visiting. That link will also give you contact information and allow you to make a reservation.


Also, you can reach out to Apple Support for further assistance by going to Get Support .



Have a great day!

Hi @jdo_apple,

thanks for your advice!


Unfortunately, there is no Apple specialist near to me. So yesterday, I called Apple Support and the couldn‘t imagine my issue and I couldn’t provide an image at this time. Of course, I can mail in my watch, but for this I want to make sure, that my watch is „abnormal“ in this aspect…

For this, they advised me to compare my watch with identical models, e. g. at the local tech store.

I thought, it might be the easiest to ask in this community with all watch owners gathered at one place ;)


Therefore, it would be great if other SE owners can check in direct sunlight, if they have the same line!
