So you’re thinking of getting an Apple Watch and the space grey model and the Milanese loop has caught your attention. If that is the case, maybe you might want to reconsider your decision. It seems that several Apple Watch owners have started posting complaints about how the underside of their devices are starting to chip away.
Now this isn’t the watch itself that is chipping away, but rather the wording and the tiny Apple logo on the back that is somehow falling off, leaving behind exposed metal which can be a tad unsightly. There are several examples of this happening and for some reason, it only seems to have affected the space grey model.
Users who have bought the other colors don’t seem to have run into that issue. We’re not sure if this is normal and expected due to the coating or paint used in the space grey model, or if it is a manufacturing defect. Either way, some of these users have commented and said that Apple has promised a replacement if they were to bring it into the shop.
In any case there is a possibility that your space grey model won’t have any issues. For example it has been suggested that the climate, activity levels, and immersion in water could have caused these problems, but if you take care of your device, chances are you won’t be faced with this problem, but do shop at your own risk all the same!
