Apple Watch Series 8 Screen Repair and Replacement
Like the Series 7, the Series 8's curved front crystal covers almost the entire front of the watch, so bumps on the edge are a common cause of cracks. On the Apple Watch Series 8 the cover glass, touch layer and OLED display are bonded together into one display assembly, so a cracked glass can't be replaced on its own. We remove the damaged screen and install a complete new display assembly for your case size.
Apple Watch Series 8 screen replacement price
| Case size | Price |
| Apple Watch Series 8 41mm | $149 |
| Apple Watch Series 8 45mm | $199 |
Prices include the new display, installation and a 1-year warranty.
Signs you need a new screen
- Cracked, chipped or shattered glass, including small cracks at a corner or edge
- Lines, flickering, green or pink tint, or dead spots on the display
- A black screen even though the watch vibrates, plays sounds or shows up as connected on your iPhone
- Touch that doesn't respond, responds in the wrong place, or taps by itself
- A screen that's lifting off the case (this is often a swollen battery; see our Apple Watch Series 8 battery replacement)
Don't keep wearing a watch with shattered glass. Glass splinters can cut your wrist, and cracks let sweat and water reach the inside of the watch.
What's included
We install a new display assembly that fits your Apple Watch Series 8's case size, seal it with new adhesive, and test touch, brightness, the Digital Crown and the sensors before we hand it back. Your data, watch faces and settings aren't affected.
Water resistance after a repair
We seal every new screen with new adhesive, but once any watch has been opened, its original water resistance can't be guaranteed. After a screen replacement, we recommend keeping your watch out of the pool, ocean and shower. Water damage isn't covered by the warranty.
How to tell if you have an Apple Watch Series 8
The case size is engraved on the back of the watch. To check the exact model, open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap My Watch > General > About, or on the watch open Settings > General > About. Tap the Model number to see the number that starts with "A". The Apple Watch Series 8 model numbers are:
| Case size | Model numbers |
| 41mm | A2770 (GPS); A2772, A2773 or A2857 (GPS + Cellular) |
| 45mm | A2771 (GPS); A2774, A2775 or A2858 (GPS + Cellular) |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Apple Watch Series 8 screen replacement cost?
Screen replacement for the Apple Watch Series 8 is $149 for the 41mm case and $199 for the 45mm case. The price includes the new display, installation and a 1-year warranty.
Can you replace just the glass on an Apple Watch Series 8?
No. On the Apple Watch Series 8 the glass, touch layer and OLED display are bonded together, so we replace them as one display assembly. That's why a cracked glass and a dead display are the same repair.

We seal the new display with new adhesive, but once a watch has been opened its original water resistance can't be guaranteed. We recommend keeping it out of the pool, ocean and shower after any repair.
