What Do I Do If I Cracked My Apple Watch Screen?
One of the reasons people continue to choose Apple products, again and again, is because they are known to be durable and reliable. Each Apple product is built to last, and the Apple Watch is no exception to that.
As we all know, since you wear the Apple watch on your wrist, it is exposed to more things than your iPhone or other Apple device is. For example, if it starts raining outside, your Apple watch is going to get a bit wet and your phone, in your bag or pocket, is unlikely to experience the same conditions.
While durable, it is possible for the glass front of your Apple watch to crack or shatter, especially if you bump it on a hard surface or drop it on the ground. If this happens, it can be quite devastating but fortunately, there are options to fix your watch screen.
Below, we will discuss some helpful tips to protect your watch once it has been cracked and what your repair options are.
My Apple Watch Screen Is Cracked – What Do I Do?
If you have noticed a crack on your Apple Watch screen and it is small in size or it is limited to one area, you may be able to continue to use your watch. If this is the option you choose, you will want to protect the screen with a screen protector and an Apple watch case.
If you choose to continue to use your watch with a crack on the screen, do know that the crack can grow in size and may eventually limit your ability to use the watch itself. Any crack should be addressed, and the screen replaced.
If your Apple watch screen is completely shattered, you definitely want to get the screen replaced quickly. Continued use of the watch with a shattered screen could lead to serious issues with the watch as it is exposed to outside elements and conditions.
Can an Apple Watch Screen Be Replaced?
Yes. An Apple watch screen that has been cracked or shattered can be replaced. Once the screen is replaced, your watch will continue to function as it did prior to the damage occurring.
If you have an AppleCare+ plan, you can choose to have your Apple watch sent in to have the screen replaced for a fee. Screen damage would fall under accidental damage and Apple will fix the device, but you will need to pay a deductible and the cost for the service.
If you do not have AppleCare+, you can work with a third-party Apple watch repair center to make the repairs that you need. For example, here at I Repair Cracked Screens, we replace broken Apple watch screens quickly and affordably. We work hard to keep our prices low, and we keep replacement glass in stock to ensure you are not without your watch for long.
Apple Watch Screen Replacement Cost
The cost to have your Apple watch screen replaced is going to be much less than choosing to replace the watch. With that said, you can expect to pay anywhere between $275 up to $800 to have the watch screen replaced. The cost you pay will depend on the exact model that you have with ceramic options costing more to replace. In general, you can plan on spending a couple to a few hundred dollars to get the screen replaced. (These price estimates are for individuals who do NOT have extended warranty coverage.)
