I don't doubt your love for Apple products, but Apple specializes in customer service. They tend to do more than what is expected. Back in the day, when you purchased a mobile phone, you got the phone and the charging cable. With the iPhone, you got a set of earbuds, and some Apple stickers...

...With the Watch, you got a short and long band. Anyway, take care and enjoy the rest of your evening.
