Apple Watch SE screen popped off

Hello everybody. Just as the title say.

My female friend got 6-8 months ago AWSE.

One day she was driving from home to her job when just pop, then we noticed that the screen just get off.


The watch is in good condition

No smashed

No water damage

No crashed

Also the watch still working good.


But it looks that the seal or glue from factory was not enough.


My question it is possible than in Apple Store can be fixed?


Should we need pay to repair?


The watch still have warranty;

my friend has AppleCare+.

Hello it’s me again I just want to update my last comment.


I went in the morning at Apple Store, and one lady told me that I just need to bring the Apple ID of the owner and the password.


Also pay $60 US dollars to repair.


But at the end of the day the Tech guy told me that it will be 0 cost [^.^] and Apple will send it back to me by mail in about 5 days.


So I am happy for my female friend.

I understand about the battery but it looks perfect. Seeing it from outside battery look flat, and when try to put in place the screen close perfectly.


I was reading some Reddit posts about this issue, and it looks that my female friend is not alone about this.


Probably comes already defective from factory





Apple Store here in Cerritos CA opens at 10:00am I will try to go.


Hopes to fix this issue it does not cost me an eye.


I let you know what they say.
