Hi,
I dropped my series 2 apple watch and the screen cracked. I do not have Apple Care and its out of warranty.
What are my options and costs?
Thanks,
George
Thanks its $229 to repair? I paid $260 for the watch. Are there other options?
It depends what options you are seeking. If you want third-party repair, you might save some money, but I prefer Apples repair services because they use OEM parts and the stand behind their product. Otherwise, if that’s out of your price range to have the display repaired from Apple, then you could start maybe looking at selling your watch broken and consider a gently used Series 2 what it will cost you to replace display on the Apple Watch.
Its dissappointing isn’t screen repair for the iPhone 120 USD?
I can basically throw away the watch. It feel on the floor from my hand it wasnt that hard of an impact. Have I know that its a pricey repair would have bought Care+.
Most logical is to dump the broken watch and buy a new refurbisbed one.

As I mentioned, you can sell the broken watch for some cost to help offset the cost of a replacement watch that you could consider purchasing. Or, You could bring it to an Apple store if you have one and see what your options are besides that. And you also have the option of looking online to find a gently used Series 2 that might include Applecare if applicable.
Or buy the OEM part yourself and find someone who can do it for you. I’ve done that before. Saved a lot of money.

I looked into this. And what you said is actually _not_ true, you cannot purchase an OEM Apple Watch display from Apple. Simply because Apple does not sell any of their OEM Apple Watch parts for repair.
(The Only option you would have is a third-party Apple Watch display, which I don’t even know if those exist or not.)
Apple told me they don’t warrant cracked screens even with Apple Care.Its dissappointing isn’t screen repair for the iPhone 120 USD?
