Apple watch having blisters and paint peeling off

I recently purchased (Jan 2025) apple watch series 10 GPS 46 mm and it has blisters and paint peeling off issue.


Raised this with Apple support as usual they denied stating their policy doesn't cover cosmetic damages.


Apple Watch Series 10, watchOS 11

Sorry to hear that. I'm afraid there is nothing more you can do about it.
