Apple May Replace Some Original Apple Watches Models in Need of Repair with Series 1 Models.

Apple today informed retail store employees and Apple Authorized Service Providers that some original first-generation Apple Watch models that require repairs can be replaced with Series 1 Apple Watch models.

The substitutions are limited to aluminum Apple Watch models in Silver, Space Gray, Gold, and Rose Gold, and are only available in some countries, which were not specified in Apple's directive.

Interesting, indeed...

I think this is reflective of the fact that the watches are pretty much unrepairable and there's no stock of series 0 for replacements.
