Hi there


Im sorry that your Apple Watch isn’t working as it should


it Appears that your battery on your Apple Watch is swollen which was a problem with the Apple Watch series 1. Apple did offer a replacement program for that issue but unfortunately the program has come to an end. The swollen battery is actually a fire risk.

You can do the following

  1. if by any luck your Apple Watch is stil under warranty you should be able to get a free repair or replacement
  2. if it isn’t under warranty then you will have to pay for a repair fee, this website has the exact cost: https://support.apple.com/watch/repair/service/pricing


I hope this helped
