Apple Watch Band

My Apple Watch band has a missing thing that locks the band to the watch. Can I take it to Apple to replace it free of charge?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 9

Replace yes, free of charge, unlikely. Any reason you think it should be free?


What band is it? What exactly is it missing? Can you provide a picture?


Unless you can prove it was a manufacturing defect, it is not covered by warranty. If you have Apple Care+ for the Watch, it will use one of the accidental damage incidents you have which have a cost, albeit a reduced one, associated with it.


If it's a brand new band, and you think it's missing something, you can take it to Apple and they'll examine it and explain your options to you.
