Happened once to my Series 2 after a night's charge, batt bloated. Brought it to Apple and was given a new replacement set on the spot. Mine was only 3 mths old then.

First gen will all be replaced by Series 1 or 2, whichever is the next higher available.

But first gen so old liao and cannot upgrade OS anymore. Why not treat yourself to a Series 4?

Didn’t really use much of the functions except running that’s all. So didn’t plan to upgrade.

They’ll replace another series for you but at an extra cost. With that money, you are better off getting a used or new model.

Else, head to a reputable repair shop and have your battery replaced at a much lower cost.

Do keep us updated here. I’ve used Apple Watch since the first gen, then Series 2, 3 and now 4. The performance difference between the first and now is very significant.

The weak battery is why I’m not buying one. A Watch seems redundant in today’s usage

Redundant for you doesn’t mean it’s redundant for everyone else.

If you need to track your health, Apple Watch is the best watch available right now in the market. Nothing else comes close.

true, I'm using it for top-up, apple pay and health monitor.. I always dislike buying watches for long time but surprisingly find this helpful/ still remove this at work though (my wallet is more lighter both ez-link and cc eliminated)

last its also convenient to just answer phone and sometimes reply simple messages while using apple watch.

Have sent in today n was told it will take 7-14 days for them to sent to factory although the staff at Apple store confirm it’s a swollen battery issue.

After all these years of using Apple Watch, till now it’s been very useful to me and I depend quite a lot on it. I’d still continue to use and upgrade my Apple Watch.

But they didn’t inform you of any direct replacement? Sometimes in-store they may have some stocks and can on the spot replace it for you.

Last time when mine happened, was just over a year so out of warranty.

Mine was the 1st gen Apple Watch. The staff told me they will still need to send to the factory to double check on the issue as this is one of their protocol. They staff did advise me that she doubt Apple still have the 1st gen watch for replacement. She did mentioned that 1st gen and series 1 is consider obsolete model.

Perhaps policy changed. Yes both are already obsolete, else they might just replace you with a Series 2, or charge a replacement fee. If they do charge the fee, honestly speaking just get a new watch already.

Happened to my series 1. Replaced foc after waiting around a week. Was hoping they didn’t have stock and would get an upgrade but no luck :D
I think battery bloat foc replacement is 3years from purchase.
That was last October so maybe now really no more series 1 as replacement
