I have been an happy apple watch user for a few years.

My previous series 4 aluminium just broke on a light fall.

I bought a new one ( series 4 steel ), and got a full replacement last summer for a battery issue ( under 75% ).

The "brand new full replacement" watch stopped working ( watch unresponsive and overeating on charge, not charging anymore) just after the 90 days of warranty extension.

And now it's 400$ charged if i want to avoir buying a new one. The apple store told me my watch had a shock ( even if they did not see anything when i was there), and considering the state of the watch and having never let her fall down, i can't avoid being suspicious with the way they see it.

So no more Apple Watch for me. I did enjoy the ride, but i don't trust the reliability of the product anymore.

Save up and buy an refurbished ultra 1, I’ve hit mine on loads of stuff and so far no visible damage

Seriously, that's an option.
