I bought my first Apple Watch in April this year, shortly thereafter it broke, and I was told it was due to a battery issue, I then got it replaced and all was well for another 3 weeks, then the same issue, and it wouldn't turn on. I then got it sent off and I am pretty sure I just got a brand new watch sent to me. All was well, until 2 days ago where the same issue as before arose. I have booked an appointment at the Apple Store this weekend, and I am unsure whether to get a third replacement or just to cut my losses, get a refund and figure out what I want to do in terms of smartwatches.
The watch is still under the 1-year warranty, it is an SE2 watch. I also swim a lot (7+ hours per week) but I don't do anything beyond the rating of the watch (I've never gone deeper than 2.5m with it and only in indoor pools).
Has anyone else experienced things like this, and should I exchange it or get a refund?
I was totally not aware this would be an issue! I’ve been swimming with my non-SE Apple Watch in pools (chlorine) and beaches for years!
