Apple watch battery swell

Purchased apple watch 3/22/21 and the face has popped loose. What I am seeing it is a known "battery swell" issue. Why isn't this covered by apple warranty? It is a known issue

If you bought a brand new watch, March 22, 2021, it includes a full one year warranty. Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and show it to them. They should without question replace the watch - UNLESS there is visible damage to the watch unrelated to the screen coming off the watch.

That is what I thought also! Visited store today, they had me call "1800myapple" and I was told there would be a charge of over $200 since I do not have applecare! I literally have the dated receipt-I though apple stood by their products-so upset with them right now!

It was bought at Walmart, I have original receipt. I called apple again snd got a more competent person who will send a box to my home for me to mail watch to apple for a replacement. Fingers crossed that it all goes smooth!
