I caught my Apple Watch on a sharp surface, managed to click it back on but now it’s totally unresponsive. Any ideas? Apple tells me I have to pay £168 for a repair which I’m loath to do as I’ve only had it 18 months
When the screen came undone it probably ripped or damaged the screen and/or touch controller’s ribbon cables underneath. I imagine they’re quite short in a device that of that size. The repair sounds relatively reasonable because they are probably going to have to replace the whole screen and touch accessibly. If it’s too close to a price of a new one or even an Apple CPO one, I’d just go for a new one.

Your question is like asking : “I just smashed my car. It will be expensive to repair. Should I repair it or choose a different option?”
The choice is yours. Either repair or replace it. There is no right or wrong answer.
Well thank you!! That’s really helpful…. Not!! I’m not stupid, just asking the community if anyone had any experience of this and whether there was a quick fix! As it happens I’ve replaced it today
Yes thank you, I’ve bitten the bullet and bought a new one today.
Apple Watch whole face detached and now isn’t working.
