Apple Watch screen scratched!

Hi, my Apple Watch is 3 days old and I’ve got a big scratch on the glass screen which was caused by my own actions. Is there any possible solutions to get rid of these.

Hello, and thanks for posting to the Community.


It is to my understanding that you have scratched your Apple Watch.


Because this is accidental damage, it usually isn't covered by AppleCare. So, really the only two options you have is to: 1) Have the screen replaced (as suggested by julieda) and 2) just live with the scratch.


NEVER EVER TRY TO FIX THE SCRATCH USING ONLINE REMEDIES. This can often damage the watch more and possibly make it inoperable.


So, if you decide to have the screen replaced, I would take it to a Certified Apple Repair Centre (such as the Genius Bar or Best BuY Geek Squad) and have it replaced. I have linked a picture, that I found here, with the pricing for screen replacement.


I hope this helped.
