"Light Bleed" on Apple Watch Series 4

Just recently received my Space Grey Apple Watch Series 4. It's beautiful and has a great performance, BUT detected an issue with the screen, it doesn't ALWAYS happens but when it does is very noticeable.


When screens dim light is low, the screen on the left side of the watch (not where the crown is) tends to have this yellow-ish color kind of fading from the black, it looks very disturbing and it looks like the watch's screen is broken in the inside. Once the dim light is high it won't be seen no more. Also when you have a (not so) complete black screen as when you setting an alarm or talking to Siri, the "light bleed" will show and on top of that it has some darker sports in between the yellow-ish part.


Anyone having this same issue with their new devices? Can this be fixed? Should I be taking my Apple Watch to a store so it can be checked?


Please help out. I know in the long run this will bug me out badly, lol.


Thanks!

Watch Series 4 (GPS) Alum 44mm, iOS 12.0.1

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)
