Apple is known for its high-quality gadgets, and Apple Watch Repair — is one such device that can not only make everyday life easier, but also save it. This smartwatch helps you monitor your health, manage your workouts, take calls, and listen to music using AirPods. However, despite the use of durable materials, Apple Watch remains quite fragile. A fall, a strong blow, or rough handling can lead to breakage. What to do if this happens?

What to do if your Apple Watch is broken

  1. Remove the device from your hand: Even if the damage seems minor, it is important to remove the watch. This is especially true if it may have been damaged by a fall. Remember that there is a battery inside, which can be dangerous if damaged.
  2. Assess the external damage: Inspect the device without opening it. Check for a broken screen, a deformed case, or visible signs of internal damage, such as overheating or freezing on the Apple logo. This information will help the iLab service center technician accurately assess the damage.
  3. Turn off your Apple Watch:
    • Press and hold the Side button and the Digital Crown at the same time.
    • Please wait for the reboot to begin.
    • When the Apple logo appears, release the Digital Crown but continue holding the Side button.
    • Release the side button when the logo disappears.
  4. Contact the service center: Even if the damage seems minor, it is important to have it diagnosed. Internal components may have been damaged, and ignoring this can lead to serious consequences.
