Apple Watch colour issue

I bought an Apple Watch 6 months ago, and now its Apple Watch body color is slowly fading away. I have barely used my watch for 30 days, but the body color is fading gradually. What is the problem, and another thing is that this type of issue is not usually found in most Apple Watches, but this issue is occurring in my watch.

Since the watch is only six months old, document the fading with photos and visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider. Apple's one-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects, but cosmetic damage is assessed individually. Ask Apple to inspect it and determine whether it qualifies for warranty service or replacement.
