*** About Screen Replacement ***
If you dropped your watch and cracked the screen or the touchscreen stopped working, use this video guide to replace the screen on your Apple Watch 5. Replacing only the cracked glass is not the best solution, because after some time the glued glass can separate from the LSD screen. The repair process takes up to 45 minutes.

Replacing the display can cause issues with Apple Pay. If possible, to reduce the likelihood of problems, delete all your Apple Pay account info before the replacement, and then re-enter it with the new display installed. Make sure to update your Apple Watch to watchOS 5 or later (and the paired iPhone to iOS 12 or later) to avoid pairing issues after a display replacement.

I have a Series 5, 40 mm with a cracked screen. I see several replacement screens being offered. Which offer tempered glass & work well as a touch screen. What do you recommend?

[@nmeharg37]

The opening tools are not available anymore on Amazon. Do you have any other suggestions?

[@vlaboreros]

what about pairing which need update on the apple watch

[@sheila7909]

I have two horizontal lines on my Apple Watch if I replace the screen would they go?

[@JoeAyyoub]

This is super helpful. I have a question, I have two Series 5 44mm watches, one is GPS only and the second is GPS+Cellular. Do you know if the screen is identical in both models? I am thinking about replacing the Cellular screen with the one from the GPS model. Thanks.

[@howfixit]

Yes, the screen is identical

[@SyFyBry]

Use the ifixit adhesive strips. Way less messy and worked great for me

[@freddierios2978]

Did it maintain water resistance with the adhesive strips?

[@JoeAyyoub]

I tried looking for the iFixit strip. I could not find it. Do you have a link or any tips on finding it?

[@gmichae186l]

Great replacement in your comment I read about a conflict with Apple Pay!!! I had a cracked screen and took it for repair and successfully fix my screen all functions work plus updated to ios9 but my Apple Pay when I click the side button my cards are not there ? On my iPhone the app for the watch has my cards but cannot remove them or if I press to add to watch it has a pop up saying there’s a problem . Do you have any suggestions how I can fix this problem. Would appreciate your help . Best regards Mike A fan of your great work .

Is your watch still waterproof after replacing the screen? 😬

[@ianbecker6039]

What screw driver is needed to replace the Force Touch Gasket?

[@DippedInTheSauce]

Question I have a iCloud locked watch in perfect contrition , I can technically swap that screen into a unlocked housing and be good to go ? Correct me if I’m wrong

[@SerPLENTI]

that’s what i’m doing, did it work for u?

[@DippedInTheSauce]

@@SerPLENTI yes it does work . Just need to take your time lol

[@davejuish]

Just did this repair today. Screen worked fine, but I ended up needing to remove the nfc antenna from the old screen and use it for the new one, as the nfc chips are encoded to the device. I removed the new screens chip, but left it’s antenna in place. The old antenna/chip just sits between the case and screen and it’s old adhesive holds itself in place.

[@ayerab8465]

Is that for a cellular Apple Watch?

[@vario2323]

Też zerwałam tą taśmę. Co to jest, jak ona sie nazywa? Rozumiem że ona nie przychodzi z ekranem? Jak to znaleźć? Chodzi o tą dookoła zegarka, pod ekran

[@djmoutofficiel6292]

Salut mon Ecran Apple Watch 8utra est caché comment vous contacter pour le réparez

[@RizzekGaming]

Do i have to buy force touch senzor ? Or glue is just fine ? Beacuse i already ordered parts and i don't wanna order another thing

[@peppermomint]

Apple no longer supports force touch on the Series 5. You should be fine without it.

[@RizzekGaming]

@@peppermomint thanks but i already broke the display and new display is more expensive than new watch.. and i am broke rn so i will just buy a galaxy watch 🥹

[@SerPLENTI]

@@RizzekGaminghow did u break it

[@anirmazigh6571]

How much does it cost to fix ??

[@t59errr]

100$ around

[@petercini2022]

Crazy 215 for a tiny screen???

[@eliozumbo5639]

I just took out the old screen and put it on again but it doesn’t start anymore. What can be the cause ?

[@SerPLENTI]

did u ever find it out

[@gabmax1013]

The screen is basically worth the same as a new one. Better off just getting another watch if you don’t wanna mess with it.

[@dougs2k808]

Screen = 150 CAD. New watch = 500 CAD. Not even close to the same price.
