Can Apple watch display be changed for minor damages(multiple cracks at the edges) ?

I had received an apple watch series 4 - 40mm as a gift from my sister for my birthday. Unfortunately, just after a year and half of using the watch I dropped my watch and the screen is cracked at the edges whereas the display and touch are working completely fine without any major damages. When I contacted the nearest apple support to get it repaired, they suggested a replacement which costs rupees 27,500 (INR). I feel this is not right as they are not putting any efforts towards fixing my display (which can be fixed) instead are going for replacement of the complete watch which is going to cost me a lot more than just fixing my display. I feel the only service provided by apple is replacement - no repairs. I am a huge apple fan who has been using apple since 10 years, but this time I don't think a small accident of mine can put such a big financial burden on me. I do not mind paying if it had to be replaced due to extreme damages but it is a minor damage which can be fixed just by replacing the display. Kindly provide the necessary support.
