If you own an Apple Watch 2 or 3, then you might want to be a little careful with its screen. In a statement by the San Cupertino giant, they said, “Under very rare circumstances, a crack may form along the rounded edge of the screen in aluminium models of an Apple Watch Series 2 or Series 3”. The company admitted the fault in the Apple Watch models and offered free fixes for the issue.
If you’re in India, then we assume that an Apple authorized service provider will replace the screen on units that are cracked. These screens will be replaced free of charge, provided they exhibit these specific types of cracks. If you’re not sure if your Apple Watch is eligible to have its screen replaced, head on over to Apple’s official website where they’ve listed out all the models that have been affected by this problem.
Apple says that the watch will be repaired and returned in approximately five business days. Apple also has a handy guide on what steps you should follow before you send your watch in for repair, right here.
One of the company’s most sought-after products, the Apple Watch was not always viewed as a successful wearable. After a few stumbles in 2015, the Apple Watch is now one of Apple’s most popular devices.
