"Light Bleed" on Apple Watch Series 4

Return it before the 14 days is up, and then when they address the issue buy it again if you still want it. They’ll have to do something to address the problem. I’m on my second watch, fixing to return it again and wait. Just wait until it hits YouTube/ social media (beautygate)

Same here Apple Germany. Sent it in for repair but only got the simple reply that they can't reproduce this issue!? But obviously it is a very bad display. I feel bad now investing 459,00 € in a piece of "junk". Every time now I see a white line on the left side.

Same issue here.

This appears to be a bigger problem, as this reddit thread shows: https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/9jpuq6/poll_does_your_apple_watch_s eries_4_display_have/?st=JNUJ7J70&sh=84f50840

Replacement watches appear to suffer from this issue aswell. I‘ll send mine back, wait a few months and purchase a new one when it has been fixed.

Yes, and they just removed my (new) post because they want to hide the issue?

I realized my brand new (1 day) watch had it merely by noticing some gradients in the General Setting option bars. Then I found all these issues on the web. I called a rep and she convinced me that it is "highly unlikely" this will happen again if I swap. She said this should be individual issues.

Is it?

I am entirely convinced that no matter how many times I swap it won't help.

It doesn't totally negate the features I want so I decide to keep this watch, but I do want to know if Apple is gonna do anything about this as it's so obvious and affect a majority of products.

I've bought second watch too. And I will send it back on Monday. I really can't understand why Apple doesn't recall all of their watches with these defective screens. I'm so angry that I will switch back to iPhone SE which perfectly fits in a hand. The main reason I buy watches is that new iPhones are huge and they don't fit in a pocket or hand

You have a new watch still in warranty so Contact Apple Support and arrange a Genius Bar appointment where you can demonstrate the problem direct to Apple. If you're within the initial 14 day return period you could even reject the watch and get a replacement.

Hi, you are not alone. Looks like Series 4 has the cheapest display ever. Bring it back to the store and ask for refund

I also got this problem my aws4 is only a month old

I’m here in Argentina. Having the same and awful problem. They told me to go to an Apple store but they don’t know if they can resolve the issue or give me another Apple Watch. I want to cry. Haha!

Hi, I highly recommend you to ask for refund. This issue is too widespread. I sent back mine 2 weeks ago

Mine is having issues to:( What should I do?

I have same problem. I’ve send it to Apple but they couldn’t duplicate the issue. This makes me very angry.
