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!!!
lmao she told us all the shit we need and left out the most important part the idk... replacement screen
Why am i watching this... I don't even have an Apple Watch...
Becase is fun I suppose
Me too...
Same XD I'm getting one for Christmas.
George Back Nice dude! with one are you getting? A friend of mine has one laying around and doesn't use it. He wants 250 euro for it. But it's a 38mm tho, should I do it or not?
Milan Movies I think that's fantastic! Yeah, I'm getting a 42MM Space Gray for 380 euro! And the 38MM costs 330 euro new here so I think that's a pretty good deal! Your choice of course :)
I appreciate the video, but I will definately pass on doing this myself. Impressive.
Wow, they really want these to be disposable.
For those of you asking where to buy the screen, I wouldn't recommend even working on your watch. The link is clearly in the video and in the description and if you can't even follow that I don't know how you expect to follow these directions.
True!
Among your tools you listed,
ARE YOU GOING TO NEED A REPLACEMENT SCREEN?
Glenn Billings
Thats not a tool
Sure does look easy when the screen has already been removed for the "camera".... I promise you it's not that easy !!!!
Lol I understand that she's making sure she covers everything possible but she makes this process seem so much more difficult than it is.
Wait have you done it before? How hard was it?
She's a woman and they like to babble forever...

Hi, can you tell me where to buy the new screen fot my watch, and thanks for showing me how to fix it
Can the Series 1 screen be used on the Apple Watch Series 2? Will it be compatible, or would features be lost?
Now, how do you put adhesive?
good Nise Thank you😍
Thank you for the video. Feel free to dial down the PSA's though. This isn't some kind of union job
Please emphasize the need to be very cable with the digitizer cable, it is mentioned (somewhat casually). Flexing the digitizer's ribbon cable may introduce cracks that prevent the screen touch sensor from working.
What would happen if you were to forget to turn off the watch, or any device for this matter?
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.
That’s what the video is for it’s $269 when Apple Repairs it for u the screen can be bought cheaply
This video is for the series 0 and series one. You can get replacement screens for those for $80, but apple still charges $250 to fix them. Definitely worth your trouble then.
where do you purchase a replacement glass?
you are not showing this at ifixit
Wouldn't still this be easier if you have a head mount magnifier to see the small parts.
Wouldn't it be more secure to use on of those small plastic businesses cards instead of a knife or does this screen stuck so hard to the case?
usually there is customer support and a separate department for tech support. You are both all in one.
I had a tiny scratch on the edge and it cracked a few months from the heat from sunlight when I had my arm next to the car window - like a winshield cracking.
Can i use lcd screen on the aluminum to replace it on stainless steel iwatch?
useful, thank you
It’s easier to life the bracket with the screen flex attached and un buckle it from the side vs what she is saying putting a flat head into the bracket because you can and will damage one of the flex connectors
Do you have this for the Series 5 ?
Where the hell do I purchase the replacement screen? How could you leave the most essential piece out of the video and description below?!
Philip Thompson from AliExpres
Great Job!
Excusme but this is first series or second series?? Thank you.
hello is that possible to change the scratched watch sport screen to sapphire or not ?
thank you
Does the iopener make the screen being taken off unusable?
So... what happens if I would had snapped the wire off the watch. Because the bracket wouldn't open? Any way to fix that?
Where can you buy just the Apple Watch screen ?? Series 5 I’ve been looking everywhere
Were you get the screen for first gen 42 mm?
do you have to split the screen from the LCD using this method?
I’m having real trouble loosening the screws on the connector cable. Really tight and can’t get any leverage. Any ideas?
Yay
I’ ll just keep a cracked screen, I don’t have patience for this shiznit!😳
Mine broke and touch screen doesn’t work
Hi, I’ve changed the lcd in an used Apple Watch 4. The lcd works fine but no sounds from the watch now. No alarm and no sound at all. Have I broken something?
Hola! Sabes como reparar o cambiar la pantalla rota de un smartwatch michael kors ? Por faaaa
I hit my watch against a vehicle door and it looks like if you pause at 4:20, the screen isn’t broke it just kinda fell off and is attached by the cables
Help. I lost the screw holding the battery cable cover in place. Where can I get another one?
Mine ain’t nevva going to be the same 😭 I’m not doing this lol 😆
where could i get the display ?
Should we wear ear plugs while doing this repair?
I have a Apple Watch series 3 42 mm GPS, but in the shop u don’t have this screen model for buy, I can buy screen/display for the cellular version but use in my GPS version ?
Does this work on Apple Watch series 3?
Where to get the glass and tools. It will help if u provide all the materials.
Hi, how does the watch be waterproof again?
Omg takes forever I don’t think I should keep watching this video it’s more complicated now. Smh.

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.
Spade bit screwdriver?
The next person that tells me to follow the steps in reverse for reassembly is in serious trouble.
My 2 days new watch sport felt from about 20cm on the floor and the glass completely cracked... Really not that resistent...
+alex *Crunch*
Andrea Borri ahahha that's exactly what happened to me
Andrea Borri me to man..
the corners are super weak. the rest isn't that bad but I got one hit on the corner that shattered it.
Spark1383 me too
I’m tempted for this to be my next Apple repair but I can’t find batteries or screens now! Danh
Check out the I-fixit website also the repair fee is ridiculous just buy a series 5.
Can anyone give a link with a screen to buy?
Why are there so many hate comments? This is amazing!!!!!!
Very nice!
it would be better if you can talk the repair walk trough while doing the action close up so people can apply directly to the instruction
i literally bought my apple watch 2 days ago and i already cracked it because I’m an idiot
Your not though cause I did the same shit 😭😭
Ooh man Gwen your puns are timeless... Get it time less and watches tell time
Technically they don’t tell time, they measure it. Also they can’t tell anything, they don’t speak.
The watch does have a speaker though
Technically they don't measure time, they show it. Also they cant measure anything, they don't have a tape measure.
Can I replace a ion x glass on the apple watch sport with a sapphire glass?
That's what I was wondering I like the way the sport looks but I like the sapphire strength
this will be cool
I droped my shit watch stainless steel from one foot and it cracked peace off shit apple !!
Keron Jones yes and that's what I did
Fuck apple not putting sapphire into every apple watch
I think the price for the kit is too high considering Apple does not fix the watch they replace it....so I would rather buy a new watch rather spend the money and time to replace the screen for the same money. It’s crazy....I don’t think people realize that Apple does not fix it they replace it.
I feel like I’m back at school lol
Are you able to help me identify a cable that would was torn? My I watch series 1 sport Screen lifted... my son ripped the screen off.. a cable is torn. I am hoping to fix it myself. The glass is not cracked.
i watched it whole. i don't even have the apple watch. Well done!
Where can I buy the screen?
The big question is....is the glas/digitizer glued to the LCD ???
+Ati Maier It is
First thing’s 1st - how we we acquire a genuine replacement Apple screen?
long story short, you cant find one for cheap
ebay off a different watch that was refurbished or off an actual icloud locked watch
What generation is this or all of them the same way to replace?
My Display is completly broken so i cant lift it up ! What should i do now ?
Some things are better left to the professionals.🤷🏾♀️
while i agree it can save a lot of money to do it your self
$300 for a glass replacement. Fuck that
what u talking about ? we are all professionals here !
@@caseyo6590 Yep, I checked today it $10 more than a new watch. Mine is shattered, a lot easier to get a good one out like she's doing.
Interesting and well presented. Thanks from Orlando
That was cool and I mean it
Looks good but I would not have that much.....time to spend on that. 😂😂😂
Great step by step. Thank you.
I live in Baltimore, MD. Anyone nearby able to do this?
will it be water proof still?
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.
Hi please help me to replace fitbit blaze screen
Good job
i got an apple watch for my birthday
i was so happy
You showed every step except the one the video is titled.
I turned on my lights and noticed it was cracked and I don't remember how
Yep. But just be careful so you don’t break or scratch the glass you’re replacing anyways.
tell me where I can buy the display...
You have to take care with the microwave to put it to low power and 10 sec. if is need put more but big care.
I have an iwatch, and the face became detcached from the rest of the watch and is hanging on by one thread.
Ok, I have been trying to replace my Apple Watch screen for two days now, and have tried to use a razor blade to open my watch, only to result in the aluminum case being scratched. What are you doing with it that I can’t see? My razor goes in the gap, and it still won’t open, even with a heat gun! Help?!
People need to talk about this in the Anatomical plane... "screen is deep to the battery"
So you actually gonna put some elbow grease in there or just sitting there to mouth the camera?
Jeeze that actually looks more complicated than its worth over the risk... Insurance is surely the better option here?
I just did it. Took an hour. Was easy as pie.
It’s over $150 for new screen, toolkit, adhesive and gasket. Might as well change battery since you got screen off, that’s another $18. The repair is rated difficult. Better to just buy a new Apple Watch with the latest tech.
Personne change les écrans sur Paris ???
score???

I have a question , I have a series 2 42mm, do have have to buy an replacement for series 2 or doesn't matter I can use from either series to replacement my screen ?
I broke my Apple watch Series 2 Screen completely. Can you please share what really worked for you? Does it make sense to buy a screen from Ali Express and then replace by myself? Will that bring my watch in to life and Is that a good long term fix? Please share your valuable feedback.
Turn the middle side topwise
The Simpsons. Classic!!
Something this video doesn't tell you, how to actually fix the screen, I just learned the hard way that you can't, while the glass might be broken you can't actually fix it since the digitizer is attached to the glass and trying to separate the two destroys the digitizer...
Actually it doesn't we did the repair and did not hurt the digitizer at all. However, we needed adhesive to make the screen stay in place. Good video
I just learned that the hard way what did you do
