My series 0 worked great until the glue came off of the screen last week. Screen flapped open, caught on my backpack, and ripped the connector cables clean in half. No indication of problems until catastrophic failure, and I took great care of the thing. Bummed.

This happened to my Series 0 last summer. Obviously, it was out of warranty by over 2 years.

I took it to the Apple Store. They gave me a brand-new stainless steel Series 0. Apparently the battery swells sometimes, in the older watches, after a lot of use, and pops off the screen.

That's what I call customer service. That's the experience I get over, and over, and over again, from Apple. That's why I keep coming back.

Apple backs up its products.

Take your Watch in, and give it a try.

Well I guess the good news is that you can get the newly lowered price Watch 3 and have a major upgrade! :)

Sorry about your watch though, I'd be bummed too if that happened.
