So I’ve went through alot of hassle lately, trying to get my Apple Watch series 1 a new display on. I went through many websites and stores, asking for whether they are selling Apple Watch replacement displays. I also tried to gather information about whether it is really possible to replace the Apple Watches display, and let me tell you all right here: It is not possible. Replacing your broken Apple Watches screen is seriously only something Apple is able to do, and let me tell you why: because every Apple Watch display has its own chip that prevents it from working with other devices. I have now gone through a total of three replacement screens, and two watches. None of them worked in the end, even though iFixit states that the displays used in the original Apple Watch and the series 1 are the same. I could not find any answers to this problem, and honestly I might just give up already. Today I took apart a used, but fine working Watch series 0, took the display, and put it into my broken series 1 watch. Look! It turns on! Once I want to interact with the watch it just feels like it turns itself off and thats it. Only charging the device could turn on the screen, the device would not react to buttonpresses or touch input in any other way. However: The series 0 Watch works with the almost completely broken screen from my series 1 watch. How? I dont know, but this is just something that I wanted to share with everyone that is trying to do the same thing as me. Save your money, and get your device fixed by Apple. Self replacing screens may be possible on the iPhones, but certainly not on the watches (especially the series 1 and 2). Anyways, I hope this may help anyone.
I think the real issue is the Apple Watch need skills to repair that most of us just don’t have. Think of it this way… You or I can’t fix mechanical watches as it takes years of training and fine dexterity to handle the delicate parts. Just because there is no moving parts with an all electric watch doesn’t forgo the need of having the fine dexterity! When the iPad’s first came out I thought it would be easy to repair them. Gee, how hard could it be! Well, after attempting to fix a few I knew I didn’t have the skills, I was not the only one. Just look though all of the IFIXIT questions on how many people encounter problems with the display/touchpad assembly. So knowing our own limitations is important. Yes, stretching your skills a bit is good! Just keep it in your mind (and wallet) when you’ve over reached and correct your mistakes!
It is not impossible dear:) I actually do this a lot. Just go on eBay and buy a iCloud locked locked for $60 or less and take the whole screen and LCD. I bought a lot set of 5 iCloud locked watches and 3 out the 5 worked. The other 2 didn’t have touch for some reason. But it’s not totally impossible hun but don’t buy just the display replacements cuz those are not programmed yet to the watch:) hope this helps you.
