Q: stainless steel band discoloration

Hi Lee

Apple advises that both Apple Watch and band colours may vary or fade over time.

If you are concerned about a possible manufacturing defect, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having it checked under warranty:
