One of the biggest problems we can have with a watch is the relative ease with which it can scratch and even break the screen. In smart watches like the Apple Watch this also increases due to the fragility of the screen materials. However, it is possible to replace it in Apple if necessary and we will tell you the price that it could have.

Apple is the only company that offers guarantees

If you’re in a position to repair your Apple Watch display, you may be wondering if there’s an alternative to Apple. The truth is that the apple company is the only one that guarantees original and compatible parts. These processes can also be carried out by SAT (Authorised Technical Service) and Premium Resellers, although in most cases they use to send the watch to Apple.

Today, Apple does not allow other retailers to replace Apple Watch displays, so you may or may not have to agree to the company’s terms if you want to get your watch back to full functionality.

Does the screen change completely?

It won’t matter if you have a minor scratch on your watch and the screen works perfectly. For practical purposes, you’re in the same situation as a completely broken screen or one whose touch panel doesn’t respond. It’s really complicated and repairing an OLED screen like the one in this watch, and no matter how small, always resorts to changing the screen and the body completely. Therefore you will have to assume the total repair in any case.

With AppleCare+ and other insurance

Unfortunately, AppleCare+ insurance does not cover Apple Watch screen repairs. Therefore, you will not be able to benefit from a discount or free replacement as may be the case with other Apple devices. You may be able to get home insurance to cover the repair, depending on the terms and conditions of your contract. Please check with your carrier on this, although in most cases you will need to pay Apple for the repair yourself and then bill them for the agreed-upon revenue.

Free repair?

As a general rule, there are no free repairs of any kind for the Apple Watch, although the exception is that it has some factory defect . It is unusual for these watches to have a screen that is in poor condition or may deteriorate over time, but this may be the case and Apple will agree to make a replacement for it completely free of charge. This replacement may even be possible if the watch is no longer under warranty, since the company usually assumes such failures after a certain period of time.

So, since prices are not low in many cases, you should be very careful not to damage your screen. Perhaps a screen protector would be useful if you are very prone to receiving knocks on your wrist or if you wear your watch in situations where it might rub against another material that could damage it.
