It was probably a very expensive model not the cheap aluminium model you all have đ
Throwing money away on expensive watches, fashion, cars or Vegas trips is a very difficult thing for sensible computer nerds to cope with (speaking from experience), and none of us were happy about Apple entering the fashion market so I think this kind of lawsuit is long over due and I hope he wins and teaches Apple a lesson not to try to sell their loyal customers over priced junk. Double price RAM is the most weâll pay đđđ
You speak for yourself and yourself alone.
Iâm a developer (computer nerd, as you say) and what I paid for my Apple Watchs was well worth the price due to its value. I donât consider it expensive. I also enjoy fashion, cars, and Vegas trips.
All you blind apple fans will protect your favorite company till the end, actually till the day when Apple screws you up. I used to be that very fan supporting every decision on their part always justifying them no matter what until Apple fucked me up couple of times pretty badly. First it was same story with scratches on stainless steel watch, now swollen battery on macbook pro - in both cases i was refused for a replacement or repair. Apple needs to be tought a lesson. I support this guy 100%. Enjoy your fanatism.
Oh look, isnât he precious. Yes you are, just precious! >pinch cheek<
There are two things AppleInsider omitted: Apple does say "scratch resistant", but two lines after they proceed to say "with a refined finish that won't scratch or tarnish". Exemple: can you say "x product is resistant" then two line after say "x product is indestructible"? The second question you should be asking yourself is: why is Apple selling a Milanese Loop with a diamond-like finish that they know will scratch the watch?
Can you provide a link to Appleâs website where it says that?
FWIW, my wife has had a 2nd gen SS with Milanese Loop and her watch is scratch free. She is constantly swapping her ML for a Sport Band when she works out and then back again. Everything is good.
Thanks (trying to dig through all the different pages, not knowing which model you had, would have taken more time than I would have dedicated). Thatâs interesting. I suppose itâs going to come down to what âwonâtâ means. Though, if I were in Appleâs shoes I sure would be talking up the âscratch resistantâ part.
Iâm curious to see how your case goes. Please check back in after the determination as it isnât uncommon to hear about a case at the beginning but not hear about the result.

The loop is steel, and thus cannot have a diamond-like finish.

Ok. I bought a series 1 sport w sport band a couple of years ago to engage in âsportsâ activity. After two months or so I had lots of scratches on the screen, I was very disappointed and felt the watch was not up to being called a âsportâ watch. I called Apple, started a case and explained that I bought the watch to work out, fish, and those types of activities and that I felt the watch was not living up to its moniker. I didnât point to a specific line regarding âscratch resistance or indestructibilityâ but merely was assertive in regards to it being advertised as a sport accessory. You get the idea. They aggreed after a couple of support reps heard my convincing plea. They sent me a new sport and said maybe there is something wrong with the specific one I bought, they wanted to inpect it. Hence, now, I am wearing my replacement sport, a few years later, same activities enjoyed throughout and the watch is absolutely scratch free. The guy shoulda taken the replacement â sometimes there are devices that are indeed defective and lots of times itâs your approach with Apple (or anyone you need help from). Attitude has a lot to do with how someone, anyone, gets through life and gets reciprocal treatment. Apple stores can be pompous though at times, I have experienced that, sadly. Calling Apple for me has had good results. Although Iâm still pissed about my 2010 MacBook Pro graphic card defect that causes kernel panics (itâs unusable and was $2500) and I missed the repair extension period, man that irks me. Maybe I should sue â nah, Iâm going to the beach, life is truly way too short.

Ok, that wording is for the current Apple Watch Edition - the ceramic version that is the most expensive design having replaced the original Gold Edition watches. So plantif has Apple Watch Edition? May well have a case then.
Wife and I both have stainless steel series 0, her with Milanese loop in 38mm and me with stainless steel link band in 42mm. I recently upgraded to a series two SS but kept my link band. Zero scratches on our sapphire displays, perfect, like new. Many small micro abrasion style scratches in the stainless steel case, as expected like on normal watches with this finish.

So youâre claiming that you have the ceramic Edition? Thatâs certainly highly scratch resistant. But seriously, you have to really be a noob to believe something is scratch proof, no matter what you may read. My black SS model is much more scratch resistant than even the ceramic version, and Iâve got no marks on it, or the Black SS bracelet.

The pictures shown at the source article show a heavily scratched screen. Yet this article you linked talks about the finish on the ceramic case. Why are you conflating Apples words about one component (ceramic case) and applying them to another component (screen)? Can you point me to any Apple literature that says the screen itself has "a refined finish that won't scratch or tarnish"? Unless you have pictures showing the case completely scratched, because all I've seen are the ones of the screen.
And mental stress? Seriously? From what, having to return a product you're not happy with? Boo-fucking-hoo.

Can you point to me on this exact page, where it says clearly that the claims refers to the case and not the screen or the back? Also, the back (ceramic) is also heavily scratched. Did you look at the source article and decided to omit the pictures of the back that were included or...?

That text; âwith a refined finish that won't scratch or tarnish" is for the Apple Watch Edition and here is more of that paragraph; âSleek, light, and extremely durable, ceramic...â If this customer has an Edition, it is made of different materials; the Safire glass crystal, the ceramic body & the heart rate sensor cover. (I found images of the customers AW, it is an Edition. There are scratches front & back. Lots of scratches on the Safire which is very hard to do. My SS AW Safire is scratch free.)
As for the Milanese Loop; itâs metal, if the Apple Watch is laid flat on a table, the metal of the Loop could rub the back of an Apple Watch and it could scratch the heart rate sensor cover. (Even though the Loop has a magnet, which could stick to the AW, somehow the Loop scratched the Safire? Thatâs hard to believe but I guess it happened.)
kkqd1337 said: Even if I owned a Roger Smith watch you can be assured that if I scratched it, I wouldnât waste a second of my life stressed and worried about it.
Whatâs a Robert Smith watch?
Roger, not Robert. Very exclusive English hand-made watches that sell for six figures.

âceramic is more than four times as hard as stainless steel â with a refined finish that wonât scratch or tarnish.â
...so youâre saying your steel loop scratched your ceramic case?
if Apple claimed the watch âscratch proofâ he would have a case. This will get thrown out of courtâthat is unless judge Koh is presiding.
"An additional diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer gives the space black stainless steel its distinctive finish."

Reminds me of when people were intentionally bending iPhones and blaiming Apple.
