I never understood the purpose of this dock. It’s basically a $79 pillow for your Apple Watch.

They didn't disclose the reason and you won't care to ask them?
I bought mine a just week ago, they should've let customers know in advance. Ridiculous.
If last week, you're within the 14-day return period. Return/exchange.
