One of the big 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 with which the materials of its screen have. However it is possible to replace it in Apple given the case and then we tell you what the price could be.
Apple is the only one that offers guarantees
In the event that you are in a position to repair the screen of your Apple Watch, you may wonder if there is an alternative to Apple. The truth is that the apple company is the only one that guarantees original and compatible parts. Also the SAT (Authorized Technical Service) and Premium Reseller could carry out these processes, although in most cases they resort to sending the watch to Apple.
Today Apple does not allow other distributors to replace the Apple Watch screens, so you like it or you will not have to assume the conditions of the company if you want to have your watch fully functional again.
Is the screen completely changed?
It does not matter if you have a minimal scratch on the watch and that the screen works perfectly. For practical purposes, you are in the same situation as a completely broken or unresponsive screen. It is really complicated and repair an OLED screen like the one in this watch and no matter how minimal it is, we always resort to changing the screen and the body completely. Therefore you will have to assume full 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 take advantage of a discount or a free replacement as it can happen in other devices of the brand. Perhaps a home insurance could cover the repair, depending on the conditions you have contracted. Check with your company about the matter, although in most cases you will first have to pay the repair yourself to Apple and then pass the invoice to them to make the corresponding agreed payment.
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 a factory defect . It is not usual for these watches to bring a screen in poor condition or that may deteriorate over time, but it may be the case and that Apple agrees to make a replacement of it completely free of charge. It is even possible that this replacement can be carried out if the watch no longer has a guarantee, since the company usually assumes this type of failure over time.
