Featured services

Battery service

We can service the battery in your Apple Watch for a fee. Our warranty doesn’t cover batteries that wear down from normal use.

Your product is eligible for battery service at no additional cost if you have AppleCare+ and your product's battery holds less than 80% of its original capacity.

Damaged glass

If the glass on your Apple Watch gets damaged, we can service it for a fee. Accidental damage isn't covered by the Apple warranty.

Damaged glass is eligible for applicable coverage for accidental damage from handling with your AppleCare+ plan.

How much will it cost?

Use our “Get an Estimate” tool to review potential costs if you get service directly from Apple. If you go to another service provider, they can set their own fees, so ask them for an estimate. For service covered by AppleCare+, your fee per incident will be the same regardless of which service provider you choose.

I dropped my Apple Watch Series 4 and shattered the back of it. Nearest Best Buy is much closer than the nearest Apple Store which is 100 miles away. Rather than mail it to Apple and chose to drop it off at Best Buy to speed up the repair process. WRONG!!!!! They've had my watch for 2 weeks and no word on when the repair would be completed. I'm glad I also have a Series 6.

How long does it typically take Best Buy to complete repairs on a watch?

You should get your watch back from them immediately and mail it to Apple.

I called Apple and they contacted Best Buy and was told the watch was sent away for repair.

fastest way to AppleCare is if you have a credit card with a little room

they'll put a hold on the card and ship a new one and a box to return the old
once you get the box, pack up and return the old one
when the receive the old one, they'll remove the hold on your card (if you take too long, they'll actually charge the card)

doing it that way, the new watch will show up in a couple days.

other wise they don't ship the new watch till the old one is there, so it's typically 7-10 days to get the new one.

when I broke my screen (it's been a couple years, so policies might have changed) they couldn't do anything about it in store, they said it was faster to call.

So finally after calling Best Buy numerous times and no one answering, I tried calling the moment they opened. Someone answered!! They could not find any record of my watch. He placed me on hold for 30 minutes and came back to say he located my watch. He said it was sent to Apple and now is on the way back to Best Buy. I swear I will never ever ever ever use Best Buy again for Apple Care repair.

Glad you were finally able to get an answer. Sounds like BestBuy didn’t mail your watch off right away.

I'm not a big fan of allowing Best Buy to repair anything, let alone an Apple Watch. However, I had a moment of ?? and let them change the battery in my iPhone 7+. Surprisingly they did the battery change in 30 minutes and charged me the same as an Apple Store. Phone works great with the new battery.

But I'm not surprised that they were not able to repair the Apple Watch and had to send it off to Apple.

Apple Watch has never been repairable. They replace it and scrap it for parts.

Whereas iPhones are repairable and Best Buy in particular has been an apple authorized repair vendor for a while now

I'm not surprised that they were not able to repair the Apple Watch and had to send it off to Apple.

Even if you took one to an apple store, they still ship it out.

How much does it cost to replace a Apple Watch screen?

Expect to pay between $250 and $499 for Series 7 screen replacements, $220 to $499 for Series 6 screen repairs and $200 to $249 for Apple Watch SE and Series 5. Repair costs for older models range between $120 and $399, depending on the watch and whether Apple or an independent repair shop completes the repair.

Can you replace just the screen on an Apple Watch?

If the glass on your Apple Watch gets damaged, we can service it for a fee. Accidental damage isn't covered by the Apple warranty. Damaged glass is eligible for applicable coverage for accidental damage from handling with your AppleCare+ plan.

What do I do if I cracked my Apple Watch screen?

You will have to take the watch to your nearest Apple Store or authorized service center. After an in-store check, Apple will ship the watch to an Apple Watch repair center. Make sure to back up your Apple Watch before submitting it for repair no matter who sends it.
