Hi this is my first post on this site so apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.

I have just purchased a Fenix 6 Sapphire DLC.

On unboxing I noted there was a defect with the screen substrate under the front glass

The picture below is the of the first watch recieved.

The vendor replaced the watch above but the second watch displayed the same cracking but of greater extent. The defect extends from 8oclock through 10 o'clock and around the bezel past 12.

I have raised this with Garmin CS  but any one else on this forum seen similar?
