Repair of the Apple Watch: Not only possible at Apple (Sponsor)

The Apple Watch is now a daily companion for many. In addition to simply showing the time, there are numerous apps available for various matters under watchOS. In addition, a lot of hardware is installed, which ensures high-quality functions. These include the measurement of pulse and oxygen concentration as well as an ECG and accident detection in newer models. But everyday use causes damage to the Apple Watch here and there. You can have these repaired not only by Apple itself, but also by other service providers. LieferReparatur offers the Apple Watch repair at this point: www.applewatchrepair.com. 

Apple Watch: A comparison of the costs of repairing the display glass

Especially if you don't use AppleCare+ as a warranty extension, the repair of Apple devices at the manufacturer can be extremely expensive. Especially since Apple only differentiates between a battery replacement and “other damage” for a cost estimate. In the following we have compared the costs for the so-called other damage at Apple (without AppleCare+) with the costs of the display glass repair at applewatchREPAIR.com:

Important note on water tightness after the repair

There is a note on the repair shop's website aimed at anyone who enjoys using their Apple Watch in the water:

Transparency is an important aspect of our company philosophy, so we would like to point out that the water resistance promised by the manufacturer is no longer given after a glass break in the Apple Watch.
According to the current status, the guaranteed water resistance is only possible during the production process. In the event of a glass tear, this water-repellent function is irreversibly lost, a reconstruction of the water resistance during the repair is technically impossible and is not part of our offer.

Is the Apple Watch waterproof?

Apple's statements on the water resistance of the various Apple Watch models are also interesting. The following information can be found on the Apple website:

If you own an Apple Watch Ultra, you can wear it casually for scuba diving up to 40 meters and other activities like swimming, showering, and waterskiing.

Apple Watch Series 2 and later can be used for shallow water activities like swimming in a pool or the ocean. However, models other than the Apple Watch Ultra should not be used for scuba diving, water skiing, or other water activities at high speeds or in deeper water.

Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch (1st generation) are splash-proof. However, diving into an Apple Watch model is not recommended.

Contrary to popular belief, even the current models like the Apple Watch 8 are not officially approved for activities such as water skiing. The reason for this is that at high speeds, the water is pressed with enormous pressure on the seals, which are actually only designed for the low pressure conditions that exist in the pool.

What makes this workshop different from others?

Unlike other repair providers, this company offers an additional 3-year warranty on the Apple Watch glass repair, on top of the statutory warranty. The repairing process is designed to be simple and transparent. After completing the order, customers receive a pre-paid DHL parcel stamp by email, which they only have to stick on their parcel.

Customers are kept informed of the current status of their repair order, including receipt of the Apple Watch, successful repair, and device return. All relevant information about the processes will be communicated to customers by email.

How long does Apple Watch repair take?

The company attaches great importance to precision and quality. In some cases, a quick Apple Watch glass replacement can be completed in as little as a single business day, however, customers should generally expect a 3 business day repair time. In rare cases, delays of a few days can occur if unforeseen events occur or quality control cannot be completed successfully. The company is committed to providing customers with the best possible Apple Watch repair service with the highest quality and care.

The most common damage to the Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is undoubtedly one of the most well-known smartwatches out there, captivating users for its versatility and sleek design. Unfortunately, damage can also occur to the Apple Watch, which can spoil the user experience. The water damage that used to be the order of the day is all but eliminated thanks to the watch's ever-improving seal against water ingress. The Apple Watch Ultra even has a tested water resistance of up to 100 meters and can therefore be used as a diving watch.

I have compiled a list of the most common damages so that you are better informed and can avoid or minimize possible damages.

1. Display repair
2. Touchscreen repair
3. LCD display repair
4. Water Damage Repair
5. battery repair
6. Sensor repair
7. Crown or key repair

Repairing the display is by far one of the most common reasons why an Apple Watch ends up in a workshop. Although the stainless steel models with sapphire glass and the Apple Watch Ultra with the surrounding edge offer better protection than the normal models, these can also suffer damage to the display under unfavorable circumstances.
