Super bummed! Screen cracked around the perimeter. Not sure how it happened. The Apple people say the only thing they would do is replace the entire phone for $280.

No, I did not get Apple Care.

Crappy day!

Damn, crack your watch and make you replace your phone. I'd be pissed.

Will the screen repair places fix these like they will phones and tablets?

There is no screen repair for the Apple Watch.

Even if the screen was replaced, water resistance probably would be compromised.

Sucks. Hang onto the watch in case cracked screens become a big enough problem for a class action suit.

Curious, did you have it in an aftermarket case?

No case. I didn't want it to be bulky! :/

I believe I will wait until Black Friday and get another one. It works right now, but might not be long until it falls off. I think it might have gotten smushed against the wall when I was moving a big tube tv (don't ask). The entire perimter is cracked less about a 1/4 piece in the bottom right.

Got it for gaming? I have something like a 36" JVC for that!

cracked my watch a while ago. all the costs i got quoted to fix it were just about as much as a new one would be.

i went on ebay and bought a replacement.

Old tv at our church. We took it to one of those Thrift places like a Goodwill and they wouldn't even take it! LOL

No idea what a used Series 2 goes for, but I have one and "like it" as much as I would a series 3 given that I don't expect separate GPS and LTE on the watch.

Might be a cheeper solution to a Series 3 replacement if that's the only difference.

(BTW, I say "like it" because the < 2 day battery life is poor, but for me manageable).

I have nothing to add but that sucks! Might as well bite the bullet and get another.

WOW!

Mine is still functioning and for the right person, it would be fine. I believe I will wait until v4 comes out. Maybe it will be even more waterproof to better depths.
