The front glass on your Apple Watch Sport might be extra strong thanks to it’s Ion-X glass, but its not indestructible. Whether it’s due to gravity or just clumsiness, cracks and scratches happen. And when they do, it’s time to replace your screen. If you're one of those unfortunate souls with a broken Apple Watch, quit your fretting because today I’m going to show you how to replace the screen on your Apple Watch.

I just broke my series 3 yesterday and i wanted to learn how to replace the screen. After seeing the prices of replacement LCDs on the Apple Watch, I just decided to get a new series 5 lol.

be very careful when separating the LCD connector cable - in the video theirs is loose already and they make it look easy - there are some very delicate connectors inside which you will damage!!!

This is a great tutorial, but the cost of the replacement watch screens is so high that it is hardly worth the trouble. The cost of the a replacement screen for a 44mm series 4 is $269 and Apple charges $299 to just replace the watch. I'm not taking the risk of killing the watch to save $30.

This demonstrates a screen replacement but doesnt actually show how to remove broken glass from the display itself. No reseller offers the entire piece for sale so that would be somewhat pointless. Thats why she voiced how tricky some of the steps were..thats because these watches arent actually meant to be fixed this way.

She only covers maybe 1/4 of what you need to do. She only shows you how to remove the screen & display. Once you remove it, you still have to separate the broken glass screen from the display (which is the step that ruined my watch during my process). Also she doesn't show how to put it back together which FYI is much more complicated than taking it apart. DONT DO THIS YOURSELF UNLESS YOU HAVE TECH REPAIR EXPERIENCE.

anyone wondering where to buy display assembly. well as of today 04/06/2016 there is no place that sells them you can get glass only on ebay but you would have to re-use your old screen. meaning you would have to separate glass from lcd and applying loca glue to glue the new glass on which is by no way means easy enough for any one to do only real way to do it and have a good finished product will be using a machine like the ones used to recycle iphone screens and even then is still hard for a professional to do so just take it to apple or wait till China starts producing new ones

Completely agree Brian, spent 30 minutes doing everything right, then there's no way to remove the Display Module from screen. Selling screens is completely pointless, which is what I brought. You notice in the video, she get's the whole screen off but then clearly doesn't show how to remove glass from display. DON'T BUY NEW GLASS. I did purchase a new watch, however thought I could fix my 'old' one, no chance. All in the bin now. This is not acceptable from Apple, basically if your screen breaks, it's game over.

I have Apple Watch Series 3 Today I experienced with a big problem. The watch turned off and when pressing the side button its not turning on, even apple logo is not showing up. When put to charge, apple logo appears then goes away then comes back and goes away again and this keeps on repeating until I remove from charging I have no idea what to do, tried resetting/hard reset the watch by pressing power button and digital crown together for 10-15 seconds Still no apple logo shows up I don’t know what to do! Tried contacting apple, they say if its hardware problem I will have to replace the whole watch because apple watches are unrepairable. Please let me know if you have a solution, I am in real need for help. Thank you in advance!
