Broken Apple Watch: Should you repair or buy new ones?

Breaking your Apple Watch is frustrating, especially if you bought them recently. However, there’s no point in blaming yourself for carelessness now. Let’s deal with the consequences.

I broke my Apple Watch. How did this happen?

Apple Watch is one of the most popular smartwatches. They help you monitor your health and track your physical activity during workouts. You can also receive important notifications, answer calls, or reply to messages—convenient when your smartphone isn’t nearby.

At the same time, like any watch, smartwatches are a vulnerable accessory. Unlike iPhones, which are often equipped with cases and protective screens, watches are mostly used as-is. Many users simply don’t want to hide their Apple Watch in bulky bumpers or cover them with films.

Designers and engineers spent years developing the body and display, selecting the most durable materials and testing them in various conditions. But no matter how carefully you use your watch, breaking the screen on an Apple Watch isn’t that hard. There’s always a chance you might hit them against a wall or door frame, especially if you’re not mindful of your movements.

So what should you do?

Broken Apple Watch is definitely a cause for sadness. But first, assess the extent of the damage. If the damage is limited to just the frame and the cracks haven’t spread further, you might try applying a protective glass with black edges to the Apple Watch screen. This can help mask the cracks and protect the display from more serious impacts in the future. Just keep in mind that water and splash resistance might be compromised: it’s not advisable to wash your hands or go swimming with the watch on your wrist.

If you have minor chips, scratches, and wear marks right in the center of the screen, don’t despair just yet. You can hide these imperfections using revolutionary screens from the South Korean brand WhiteStone. They are different from other products. The package includes a liquid optical adhesive that spreads evenly over the screen surface and penetrates even deep scratches. Under ultraviolet light, the polymer cures, securing the protective glass on top.

WhiteStone Dome Glass will hide all the imperfections, reliably protect the device, and maintain high touch sensitivity. You can purchase the protective glass for your Apple Watch at iSpace. The cost of the accessory is 34 AZN, including the application service. Even if you wanted to apply the glass yourself, it wouldn’t be possible: a UV lamp is required, which is not included in the package.

If the screen of your watch is shattered and you see spots or lines, continuing to use such a device might be unsafe. Contact our service center so specialists can assess the condition of your Apple Watch.

Can the glass on an Apple Watch be replaced?

Apple Watch is a single-piece construction where individual components cannot be replaced. For this reason, Apple does not manufacture original parts for its smartwatches. Also, there are no replicas available on the market.

If you’ve broken your Apple Watch, you have a few options:

1. Feel sad. Remember fondly the device that served you well. Then buy a new Apple Watch from any iSpace store.
2. Visit a service center and order a replacement for the broken watch. Depending on the series, this might even be slightly more cost-effective than buying a new one. However, keep in mind that in this case, you can only replace it with the exact same model you had before. Additionally, the whole procedure might take quite some time.

Unfortunately, separate glass replacement for the Apple Watch is not possible.

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose a new model of smartwatch. But this time, we recommend taking precautions and protecting the screen by applying a protective glass or film. This simple action will save you money, time, and stress.

Take care of yourself, your Apple Watch, and other devices from your favorite brand.
