iWatch: Replacing the display - is that even possible?

If the display of your Apple Watch gets damaged, it can quickly become expensive. Unlike most of Apple's products, a broken display on the Apple Watch is not replaced, but a new model of the product is handed out directly. Accordingly, the prices explain themselves.

Apple iWatch: That's why a display exchange is so expensive

A broken Apple Watch is rarely repaired. Depending on the model of the Apple Watch, the cost of a replacement can quickly be in the mid-three-digit range.

1. There are hardly any to no independent workshops offer to repair an Apple Watch.
2. The main reason for this is that Apple itself does not provide spare parts for a repair and third-party displays are usually very expensive.
3. That's why you can actually only request a repair from Apple itself.
4. But since the exchange of the display can lead to the fact that the watch is no longer properly waterproof, it is usually replaced with a new model.
5. Through the exchange, the cost of the "repair" therefore quickly move in the range of the actual purchase price of the watch.

Apple iWatch - Tips on the display:

1. One option is to take out an AppleCare+ contract when buying the Apple Watch.
2. Der Vertrag kostet Sie 99 Euro für zwei Jahre und deckt direkt zwei Reparaturen ab.
3. Für eine Reparatur müssen Sie jedoch noch eine Eigenbeteiligung von 65 Euro zahlen.
