My stainless steel Apple Watch gen 1 developed a yellowish-brown boarder around the screen edges! It is only slightly over one year old. I read that some people were having this problem for their iPhones but I haven't seen anyone complaining about their watch. Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes for this?
Hi
I suggest that you contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider with a view to arranging for your Apple Watch to be inspected and, if recommended, serviced:
I have the same issue with my Aluminum Generation 1 Apple Watch, but mine is more reddish brown. I called support and was told that it is probably a water issue and these first generation watches are not water resistant like Gen 2 and 3. Not even in a shower, although I do recall Tim Cook mentioning that he took showers with his Gen 1 watch. They offered me a replacement for $199 which I declined as I could find one for less on sale. It's a bummer as I love using it and hopefully the bleeding doesn't get worse around the edges as I was planning on using this watch for years to come. Did you ever look into it and what was the resolution from Apple?
It might be LCD problem. You'd better make Genius Bar appointment to show them your watch.
Yellow edges around Apple Watch screen!
