Is my Apple Watch even possible to repair? (Series 3 LTE)

(Series 3 LTE watch) I went to a computer store that was an Apple certified tech, And I showed them my watch but it was dead at the time, but the guy agreed to look at it anyways, they never actually charged it and looked at the display, but he informed me that my watch display was the reason my touch screen wasn’t working because it has a big crack but when you look at the actual display when it’s on there’s no distortion and there’s no display issues whatsoever the glass is cracked the top section of the touch works but the bottom let’s say 75% is unresponsive. I’m curious if there’s actually a repair for this Or if the Apple tech is in fact correct and the display was the reason my touch screen was only partially working. I just have this weird feeling they just wanted to rush me in and out of the store and tried to up sell me on a brand new series 5. Tried to include pictures of display and angled view of crack

The display is a sandwich of parts: the crystal, the touch plate and then the OLED display. Clearly your crystal is cracked and I often find the touch plate can often get damaged as well.

So the tech wasn’t giving you a song and dance and most likely they don’t fix watches in-house so its off to the Apple repair depot to be repaired!

I guess to add more of a point to my question, if I replace the glass and touch pad or whatever makes it touch screen, the touch screen works again yes? Cause the person made it seem like even if I did replace said components it would likely still not function, which is what generated my confusion as a naturally skeptical person it seemed strange something not being repairable ..

Here's the guide to replace the display assembly which offers the crystal, the touch plate and then the OLED display as a complete assembly 苹果手表屏幕更换

Replacing it should fix your display issue. The only thing that could mess you up is water or other liquid find its way in or not using care in the repair its self.

Thanks dan! I think I’ll pick up the kit and try and replace the screen myself
