Apple Watch They are probably the best performing smartwatch on the market, first appreciated for the Watchos operating system that brings many interesting features, sensors capable of read the oxygen level in the blood, in measure the heart rate, to do electrocardiogram, plus premium finishes and good quality materials.
With all these pluses, they are also owners of Apple Watch who have found a big minus. Assembly defects care allow water to penetrate under the screen, even if the clock was not submerged under water or exposed in torrential rain.
At least about the last generations of Apple Watch, Apple tells us that are water resistant, More than that, the Apple Watch 5 and Apple Watch 6 are designed to measure the effort during swimming.

A problem encountered by many Apple Watch holders is the appearance of a Black spots at the top of the screen. The stain that most often increases and gets a turquoise contour.

Why does the Black Spot appear on the Apple Watch screen?

This Black spot (black spot) from the display Apple Watch, is not the result of a software error (Watchos) or mechanical SOC. Therefore, It is not a solution to reset Apple Watch, because the stain will still not disappear. This is permanent, and over time it can increase its size.
Most of those who face this problem at Apple Watch, say that the black spot on the screen has appeared after 12 - 14 months of use a Apple Watch.
As far as it seems to be a manufacturing defect. One of the layers that make up the screen is detached and allows water (either from condensation) to reach the OLED / LED screen. one way of solving is in one Apple authorized service.
We do not know if the display must be replaced in full but sure YOU'RE(Apple Watch 5) needs to be changed.

If you have been confirmed with this problem, please leave your experience with your Apple's authorized service in your comments. We are still waiting for the answer to the service. We return with updates.

Update:

The defective Apple Watch was taken into a Apple authorized service, where after the technical finding it was replaced with a new one after a few days.
