Bangle JS 2 bought less then a month ago started acting up

Hi,

My girlfriend got me the Bangle Js 2 for my birthday less then a month ago, and I've been having a lot of fun exploring its functionalities, it's been all around great.

Today however, for seemingly no reason, other then maybe me putting mild pressure on it without noticing (I am sure it didn't suffer any hit), it suddenly started acting up.

• the screen started looking faded in places on the side where the charging/debug pins are, as if it was damaged
  
• the touchscreen started responding weirdly until I rebooted the watch
  
• I had pixel artifacts that I couldn't get on camera in time, some vertical lines in the widget areas
  
• the accelerometer stopped working temporarily, through a few reboots
  
• the LCD is flickering weirdly on hard reboot
  
• the bootloading gets stuck on the loading screen on hard reboot until I press the button for 2 seconds to do a soft reboot
  
  

To me it looks like some of the hardware got damaged, and I have no idea why, I haven't charged it in 5 days, and the debug pins were covered with a piece of tape since I unpacked it.

I'm worried about it, because I wanted to do a lot with it but now I'm wondering if it's already ruined.
