Back of Watch fell off

I just had this happen to me. Back stayed right on the charger when I took it off to put on. Really nice APPLE. I paid $300 for my watch. Have showered with it. I mean, REALLY? This is the best they could do. Now I can't even exercise with the thing on my wrist and have to go find $2 super glue to put it back together.

Good advice, of course. However a) this isn't a staining issue ..

The guidance also relates to "other damage", not just staining.

The guidance here also refers:

"Keeping your Apple Watch and bands—as well as your skin—clean and dry will maximize comfort and prevent long-term damage to the watch. This is especially important after workouts or exposure to liquids such as sweat, soap, sunscreen, and lotions that can cause skin irritations."

This is a user-based support community.

Apple does not formally provide technical support here. Any replies posted on Apple's behalf are clearly identified as such. For example:

Seems that either nobody knows about how to contact Apple about their problem, OR six months into this thread and

23,000 something views, Apple no longer cares enough about their customers' experience and/or their product quality control.

I don't have a watch, but it puzzles me that an Apple product of $700 requires a customer trying to glue it back together

to get some satisfaction. And it seems to suggest that a Samsung epic-fail-type fiasco is not too far away in a vital product line.

Hey brother... I am from Nepal. I bought an apple watch but the back side of it is coming out. Don’t know how it came out. I kept it on charger the next day i saw the back part fell of while removing from charger. I know there is replacement of apple watch from Apple although retailers don’t provide those services. Please show me the way to do the replacement process.

TIssot What? model please, I whould like to know the model of the watch you are referring too.

To my knowledge even they have not glued the actual back on a watch.

My father had one of these, nothing ever fell off, in fact you could have hammered tent pegs in with it.

That's too bad that you don't. I have a number of pieces of jewelry (none of them incredibly valuable) that have been passed down through multiple generations. They are very precious to me.

The Airbus 380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner are held together with glue, and they are both exposed to more extreme environments than your wrist. There's nothing wrong with glue per se.

The Space Shuttle has a heat shield held on with glue. Clearly this is not your mama's glue.

Nor your daddy's heat shield. I've held one of the tiles, and tried it out with a blowtorch. You can hold it in the palm of your hand, with a blowtorch heating the opposite side.

Please stay on the topic which is about Apple watch with substandard build quality issues. Dont bring other companies here and divert the topic to something else man.

Yes, I'm very happy to hear you got your Watch replaced under warranty (as many of us expected you would).

Does the tattoo tap its foot? 😁

I had the same thing happen to me on Tuesday. Sport 42mm.
