Scratch on Apple watch series 4

I got the Apple Watch space black stainless steel case with space black milanese loop, and I got a little scratch on the screen. I thought with the sapphire crystal glass, the chance of getting scratches will be lower, but maybe I am wrong. Therefore I am wondering how I can fix the scratch on my watch?!

Have it replaced. If the scratch was caused by you then it will not be covered by your warranty. Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. Also, see How to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Distributor (AAD)

There is no way to fix a scratch on the screen except replacing the device. Scratches are normally considered to be cosmetic and not justifying replacement under AppleCare+ unless they are severe and impact the touch screen functions. DON’T try to polish it out, because you will destroy the fingerprint resistant (oleophobic) coating and you could even damage the touch screen. The best advice is to learn to live with the scratch unless it prevents using the watch. You could add a screen protector which will hide the damage and reduce the risk of further scratches.


If the touchscreen/watch function is actually impaired, Contact Apple Support
