Apple Watch Glass Screen Streaks (Oleophobic Coating Inconsistent?)

Hello,


Not sure if everyone else has had this problem but I recently purchased my Apple Watch (3 weeks ago) and realized that the top portion of the screen has somewhat of a streak on it when the screen is smudged or fogged up. It's also very visible under sunlight. Is anybody else having this problem and has anyone been able to find a solution for this?


Below is a picture of the problem:

This might just need screen cleaning with a soft cloth, damp with clean water if necessary but avoid cleaning products or heavy scrubbing. If that doesn’t clear the problem you might have a manufacturing defect, get it examined by Apple. Genius Bar appointment for your nearest Apple store recommended.
