Apple Watch Series 5 Screen Replacement

[@howfixit]

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.

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?

[@vlaboreros]

what about pairing which need update on the apple watch

[@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

[@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

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? 😬

[@sheila7909]

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

[@Chitreano1]

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?

[@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

[@nmeharg37]

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

[@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

[@anirmazigh6571]

[@t59errr]

100$ around

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

[@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?

[@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

[@petercini2022]

Crazy 215 for a tiny screen???

[@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.
