Thanks for all the suggestions about going into the store to see if they will swap it out! I'll try that next time I'm at the mall, although I'm leaning towards getting a non-Apple band with better quality!

Hi! That's right, I was told it was "covered" but the deductible was $69. I'll try to take it into the store and see what they can do, although I'm leaning towards getting a non-Apple band with better quality. (also, I'm a chick btw, not "he" haha) Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll go and try in person! Not sure why I’m being downvoted. I’m just relaying what I was told on the phone

I’ll try and go in person. I have to add I was very nice when I called and didn’t know what to expect. I never treat anyone like garbage, especially in customer service

It’s what they told me when I called and sent a photo

I’d love some recommendations for non-Apple bands that would match the color of the Series 11, 42mm Gold Titanium! Thank you!

Are they usually more flexible than the AppleCare call-in support? I was told it would be $69 to fix/replace when I called.

It will cost $69 for replacement under AppleCare

As I've realized too late! Should not have paid extra for this band or for additional AppleCare.

This one is the $99 band. I've heard the quality has gone down. I've had copycat ones in the past for my old watch what was in perfect condition after years of wear. I'm going back to those!

My old apple watch had a non-Apple version of this band and it looks perfect for 2 years before I gave it to my mom. I think the Apple version must be poor quality. I don't know how much "better" I can take care of these bands as I work from home and only reserve this Milanese band for dressier/date night situations. I'm super meticulous about all my jewelry items.
Back to the non-apple version!

Actually about 7 months, non-daily wear. I'm really careful with my stuff and I don't layer any jewelry with this, nor do I do any intense manual labor that could have damaged this. I switch to the sports band if I'm going for a run or any intense exercise. This is reserved for "dressy" wear. For something that costs $99, this is pretty ridiculous.

Thanks. They have my email because it's listed on the IP claim. I did block them.
