This system was designed to specifically prevent you from doing an RMA and just giving up since placing an order would be the easier route with less hassle. It's intentional friction since they assume most their customers are lazy rich people.
Here’s what makes it even worse. I sent my Apple Watch in for a battery replacement but they just replaced my whole watch. While this may sound good at first, it misses the point of servicing a device. Now my old watch is probably ewaste.
does not replace batteries for anything but phones really, they don’t repair watches or iPads at all, even the batteries and MacBook batteries are expensive.
multibillion dollar company btw

Just some corporate hubris 💀

What I did was I went to my local Apple Store early in the morning and got my watch’s battery serviced same day.
this is their bread and butter
apple support wont give you a new fresh battery, because that is what they do. they are trying to sell new products, not the old ones.

If Apple doesn't want to replace the battery, leave it to someone else. Or replace it on your own. 😈
its basically stuck with that battery forever

You might want to take it to the apple store in person if that's the case.
Also, close some tabs, man, jeez
lol, yes, closing tabs is on my "New Year's resolutions" list;-)
It's intentional, so you remain as Apple cattle. They chose to put in piss poor capacity batteries in their devices.
