Why is my Sport band shedding/peeling?

I have been wearing my watch every day since I've bought it (2 months ago). Today I noticed that bottom of the black sport band(42mm) started peeling, seems like there is some sort of protective layer on silicon... I don't know if this is normal, but for the apple's price(high) and their build quality this shouldn't happen in my opinion.

Hi


To help avoid stains or damage, be sure to always handle your Apple Watch and the band in accordance with Apple's cleaning and care instructions.


If you are concerned that your band may have a manufacturing defect, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available, if required), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider with a view to having it checked under warranty:
