Watch Maintenance
I do have a theory that the port may remain on the Sport models because I suspect the “movement” on the Sport is installed in the case permanently with adhesive. As such, it stands to reason Apple might maintain a diagnostics capability to troubleshoot issues at the Apple Store before simply trashing the defective unit and handing the customer a new one. With the Watch and Edition lines, it would make more sense to simply pull the movement out and replace it

Interesting article on the production process of the Apple Watch. But this paragraph ran specifically true to me.
