Do you think I should take it back to the jewelry store who sold it to me and try to figure this out?

What's to figure out?

Whatever site you used to "date" your watch is wrong

Dude, no need to take it back and yes it is still “good”. Just wear it, enjoy it, and don’t waste brain power on that nonsense. As long as it’s your watch and you love/like it, that’s all that matters.

I would say that if your watch is authentic and post-2010, the serial number can start with any number or letter, including a 'U'; it does not mean that the watch was made in 1996 - a physical impossibility.

Internet charts or dating apps can only be used for approximating the manufacture date for pre-2010 watches.

Agreed. A lot of people flock to Bob's watches directory but that is completely wrong for anything recent as of like 2014 I think.

No. You are mistaking your serial number. It’s a random serial number so it all matches up. Forget the letter U in a random serial. It means nothing.
