I got the Jet Black Apple Watch again.

I’ve been through my fair share of Jet Black Apple watches (two to be exact), and this one doesn’t have any issues with unpainted bezels.

Plus it was a good deal at $70 off.

Looks like 3rd time is the charm.

If there is a defect in the Jet Black finish, it will most likely be at the junction between the screen and the flat part of the body the screen is joined to. The flat part is not smooth and painted to the same extent as the shiny outer finish of the watch, and that could be why it is more prone to showing bare aluminum.
