White line of death on watch

There is no way we can diagnose your watch from an online photo, but we can accept your observation that it doesn’t work. Unfortunately the fault could be almost anything inside the watch, from the display and logic board on the front face all the way back to the battery. I suggest you approach the local fixer’s diagnosis with great caution because there is no real way to determine until it is fixed. In fact watch repairs are almost impossible and for most “repairs” Apple normally provides a service exchange watch, they don’t repair watches and return the same device to the original owner.

Point your browser at Contact Apple Support and see what service options are available to you. Apple doesn’t have any approved third party watch repair centers and even within Apple Stores almost all watch hardware problems are shipped out to a specialist central workshop so I would not hold much hope for a successful unofficial repair.

Try a reset of your watch...press in the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both. If it's still there, call Apple Support .

I would suggest you call your local Apple Store and make an appointment for them to look at. How long have you had your Watch? It might be still under warranty.

Well sorry unless you can get it to an Apple authorised dealer for repair there is nothing you can do.

Where in the world are you? Most regions where Apple has a support operation there is usually a mail in option available for users who can’t easily reach a store in person.

Sorry I don’t know the answer to your question. The Apple authorised dealer are better placed to help you. You can call Apple support to see what they say.

I personally wouldn’t waste my money on a non Authorised dealer doing it. But it’s your call.

Did you explain to them that you do not have an Apple Store? They have always helped me with my different devices either by the chat or by telephone .

I share Branta's comments regarding using a non-authorized dealer.

That is really weird, because you predicted my caution comments by almost 15 minutes. I will never know how you knew what I was typing.

Why do you call it a line of death?

How does it effect your use of the Watch? Can you use it at all?
