    Wait until the battery health gets to 80%. Apple will replace the whole watch for $100 as a battery replacement.

      I’m on my 5th series 5 replacement and each one was utterly trashed when I sent it in (not just for battery swaps)

      So glad they exchange the whole watch or my screen would have been unreadable after a couple of years

    Ouch!!

    I scratched mine the first week I had it but thankfully it’s tiny and along the edge.

    Was enough for me to get AppleCare+ though…

    I think it is odd that Apple wouldn’t cover a scratched screen under AppleCare+ since a big scratch in the screen vey much seems to be accidental damage. Even more interesting is, that I just this week had my S7 replaced due to an ugly scratch on the display under AppleCare+. I just started a support chat last weekend, told them I had a scratch and wanted the display replaced under AppleCare+, they initiated an express exchange, I received a new S7 within 3 days and my repair case has been closed by now.

    Also: it’s a stainless steel model. They do scratch.

    Ouch! I remember when I first scratched my S6. Worst part was I thought I’d applied a screen protector but apparently it didn’t install (one of those peel off plastic ones). Then I stopped caring and there’s loads now 😅

    I still don’t have any scratches on my S6 that I bought when it was released, what did you do to yours?

    I hate to say this now but I learned with my 5 I’ll get a screen protector. Considering the vulnerability with a watch it makes sense.

    I have a similar scratch on my Series 7. It’s only really visible when the screen is off, so it hasn’t truly bothered me.

    I’m finding the glass very soft on my S9 😩 I haven’t even dropped it or banged it. I can see light stretches and a very tiny deeper scratch. They always advertise it saying how tough the glass is

    My SE 2 is just a year old now and it looks like I’ve dragged it along every wall and surface I’ve come across, it’s rough.

    Question to all AW owners: is the Ion-X glass THAT scratch-prone? I keep seeing videos, posts and even friends saying that they scratched their brand new AW within days. Wondering because I’m considering buying one.

    I wore a Pixel Watch for over a year with no protection and no particular care and there was not a single scratch on it. Is Gorilla glass more scratch-resistant than Ion-X?
