Apple Watch face is lifting from the watch

Without warning my Apple Watch face is lifting from the watch. Watch is still totally functioning. Solutions? Apple support is saying I will have to pay ~$150 to have it repaired! I didn’t drop it or anything. It was completely spontaneous!

It was your battery that did it by swelling which happens sometimes when lithium polymer batteries get old. Your option is to pay repair it or buy a new one.

Actually that is the case more often than you know.


But in the case of lithium polymer batteries expand your research and you will find the same complaints from owners of other small electronics including Samsung, LG, Emerson, Sony, Fitbit, Garmin, Sony, etc. And to use the car analogy it is like blaming Ford when your battery fails.
