So this happened....

[satinsilverem2]

I woke up this morning and went to put my watch on and noticed a giant chunk of it missing out of the lower corner. I don’t remember smashing it against something or dropping it recently. It really sucks as I just got it last April and don’t really want to spend the $229 that Apple wants to replace the screen. I’m also mad at myself because I didn’t get apple care this time around for it. Now i face a decision pay the $229 to get a new screen or upgrade to the series 4. I know there is a jump in price obviously but would it be worth the upgrade from the series 3.

That sucks man. Hopefully you bought it with a credit card with accidental damage protection.

100% worth the upgrade. Speed, screen size and better watch faces I would say are the top 3 reasons to upgrade.

I would just get a brand new watch.

 

[Jason Hensley]

I would recommend upgrading as well

If you can afford it, I think you’ll be very happy with the upgrade. Significant enhancements over the series 3.

I went from S3 to S4 and I've never regretted doing so.

Is it still usable? (As in..is the display still functional.) Other than the water resistance being compromised [OLED is very sensitive to water/moisture], perhaps still use it and trade it in/sell it ‘As is’ when the Series 5 likely debuts in the Fall. The Series 4 is a great watch, but if you think you can wait and utilize other options, perhaps upgrade in the Fall if possible.

I still works just fine but in my line of work I'm constantly near water and Im a little scared of wearing it. I think im going to wait a little while and see how long I can go before it gets messed up even worse and then upgrade to the series 4.
