Apple Watch Series 1 Battery Swelling

Apple won't repair the watch. The Out of Warranty replacement cost for an Apple Series 1 watch is $199. That is less than the cost of a new watch. But when you factor in the watch is not capable of running any of the new WatchOS versions since I believe Watch OS 4.x.x, that may not be the wisest investment of funds when Apple Watch is currently on WatchOS 8.x.x.

You can buy a brand new Apple Watch SE, for $279. That's only $80 more to get a brand new watch which is current and modern.

A Series 1 is so far out of warranty it is certain to be a chargeable repair, if Apple even has parts available. My advice is you will get a better deal by replacing it with one of the current models rather than throwing money at an obsolete device.

The watch is over 7 years old at this point. You'll need to contact Apple directly for help.
