Apple Watch band discolored, worn; warranty replacement

Hello,

I would like to ask about a possible warranty replacement for my Apple Watch band.

The watch was purchased about 4 months ago, but it has been worn only for around 2 months in total. Despite the very light use, the band has already changed color and looks worn. I take good care of my devices and I did not expect the band to show such visible wear after such a short period of use.

Because of this, I am concerned that the material may have a defect or may not be performing as expected. I have attached photos to show the current condition.

Since the watch is still under warranty, I would really appreciate if you could review the situation and let me know if a band replacement would be possible.
