I dropped my Apple Watch at the gym, I removed it to take a shower and it fell to the hard tile floor after opened my locker... this caused the screen to pop off, it's also got a crack on the lower left corner.
The LCD is now completely hanging off, I've tried getting it to pop back into place and maybe living with the crack for a bit but it doesn't seem to want to go back in.
I contacted Apple, it's out of warranty but gave it a go anyway, they said it would cost around £500 (at the most) to fix - they would put a hold on the payment on my CC and then bill the actual amount if I agree for the repair... has anyone been in this position, I just can't get my get around £500 or even anywhere near it.
I also contacted my insurance, and it is insured for accidental damage away from home but with excess, they're worried that it would cost a similar amount to the repair and advised it's not worth claiming (they would say that, but they do have a point).
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is it possible to get this fixed? Are there any 3rd party repair centres in the UK?
I think anywhere near £300 I could probably pay a little extra for an immaculate pre-owned model, and anywhere near £500, it would be worth considering the Series 4.
