Apple Watch Series 4 return period extended to 45 days due to ECG feature

An internal document addressed to all Apple Store employees and Apple authorized resellers has been obtained by MacRumors. The document outlines a new 45-day return period for the Apple Watch Series 4 due to the ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor embedded into the Watch's body. Likely due to the medical nature of the ECG, Apple had to add the extra month's time to the regular 14-day return policy for most of Apple's products. Should you request a refund past the first fourteen days, you'll need to contact Apple directly by telephone, email, or online chat. If you do take your Watch Series 4...
