It's unusual but possible. The Watch SE was released in September. If you somehow got one that was manufactured then and which has been sitting, especially if it was somewhere cold over the winter, that could happen. If it charges up normally, it's probably fine. My one concern would be if you bought it somewhere other than from Apple or an Authorized Apple Reseller. If that's the case, you may not have the full year warranty so, keep a close eye on it.


If you bought it from Apple, you can return it with 14 days. If that's feasible, you may want to just return it and buy another one.
