Apple Watch Series 3 Screen Scratch

Hi

Apple Watch is not user-serviceable and Apple does not offer a screen repair or screen replacement service for Apple Watch.

If the issue is not covered under warranty or any other Apple policy, then your Apple Watch may instead be eligible for replacement via chargeable, out-of-warranty service or via AppleCare+, if previously purchased.

Out-of-warranty service prices (and AppleCare+ service fees / excesses) vary by country and by Apple Watch model.

Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider to arrange for your Apple Watch to be inspected and to establish your available service options:

Apple Watch Service Answer Center - Apple Support - Malaysia

I'm afraid that no-one here can tell you what Apple will decide in your specific case. You are not talking to Apple here - this is a user-based technical support community.

In the meantime, note that Apple advises that you should not continue using a damaged Apple Watch.

I also have a little scratch on my watch series 3 and after a call with the support, i sent my watch to the technical center.

There, they will verify that the scratch is not caused by a human error, they will verify if there is no impact zone.

If no impact zone, and they estimate it's not your fault, they will replace it for free...

Otherwise they will charge you the replacement 😟

I've had mine two months and just noticed the same type of scratch in the same location that you described. I've never dropped it and am extremely careful with it. So disappointing
