I’m also a WATCHMAKER, and the two APPLE watches that have been brought in (rejected) have shown me the gap that Apple smarties have in their knowledge of just what human beings constantly do to that watch on their wrists.

I am curious why anyone would bring an Apple Watch to a watchmaker for repair . . . especially as they would generally be within the warranty period now. What could a watchmaker do for anyone on an Apple Watch that would not be better done by taking it to an Apple Store or returning it to Apple for warranty servicing? The straps are easily replaced by the owners. It is not designed for a jeweler to repair. Please, elucidate.

OF COURSE you are right. I think the word “WATCH” was the cause. The Apple device is an electronic instrument and nothing that any watchmaker could service or should not
even try to. I wouldn’t/couldn’t do a thing for them.
My stated concern was way too many years seeing what people do to the things on their wrist. I’ve serviced Rolex models, smashed as the result of a bad fall on ice, and watches covered with special Marine bottom paint as examples.
The Apple watch requiring service will be in the mail to the company as you stated.
