Have *YOU* ever shattered/scratched your Apple Watch? If so, how? What did you decide to do about it?!

@jamalissouquaein8016 7 лет назад

There's a reason it costs so much, they can't replace the screen they have to give you a new watch. So compared to the iPhone screen replacement cost its not too bad. $199 for a brand new product or $129 for a new piece of glass. Doesn't seem that bad to me. What do you think?

@oviedo75 7 лет назад

In The Netherlands I had to pay 271 EUROS!!!!!!! ($289!!!!) And NO, that was NOT for replacing the watch: it was for repairing the screen!!!

@julgross4666 7 лет назад

BMACadelic Just shattered my Apple Watch this wknd... I'm gonna wait till September and hope that they'll unveil the Series 3....

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

I disagree, Jamaal. The $199 replacement is most likely not for a brand new product (it could be a refurbished product), and Apple is taking your damaged device, repairing that one, and most likely selling that one as a refurbished device and/or using that one for future replacement devices. If the $199 is for a brand new product, and I'm paying for such, I'm really getting double whammied by having to pay that price AND surrender my damaged Watch. Not too customer-friendly at all in my opinion!

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

It's unfortunate to hear about your Watch breaks, O and J - hopefully everything will turn out for the better!

@JonnoFly 6 лет назад

Never shattered phone or watch. They both lived in their boxes until I bought screen protectors and cases.

When your Apple Watch screen gets cracked you'll regret not having Apple care

@DanaTheInsane 5 лет назад

I had AppleCare. The second year I fell on my watch right on the pavement and broke it they replaced it for 69 bucks. No big deal lot cheaper than buying a new one.

@itstheBMAC 5 лет назад

Apple Care is $49+$69, which totals $119. No Apple Care costs $199. New Apple Watches don’t cost much more than that, depending on the model. Those repair prices are still quite ridiculous in my opinion.

@samuelmanny6231 4 года назад

Crashguard (most elegant protector esp with frames) or tempered glass (if you don't like bulky crashguard or you like it look naked ) with sport loop like anchor gray is the best

@giannissterg7824 4 года назад

im considering buying apple watc 5 or airpods pro. i really like the watch but im fearing of breaking and scratches. Is it so easy to break??

@Sam-zq8jo 6 лет назад

Is it possible to get screen protectors for the Apple Watch to give it less of a chance of shattering?

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

I am yet to find one that I can fully recommend but, when I do, I will certainly make a video about it, Sam!

@Michael_Billig 7 лет назад

I think it’s $199 because they cannot just replace the glass, but they have to replace the whole watch itself. It’s the same for iPads. Apple stores only replace screens of iPhones.

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

That might be true, but it doesn't seem to help out the customer too much, Michael. A "sports watch" with a potential $199 fee seems so counterintuitive in my opinion.

@GeorgeLockwood 6 лет назад

You can replace it. Ive done it for clients before - super easy.

@GeorgeLockwood 6 лет назад

G.B.F. GAMING Well it is sapphire but there’s a ton of impurities in it so it is the exact same except for advertising purposes

@MaximusTheChosenOne 6 лет назад

Dixie Normous it is... “ doofus”

@Bowser-pu5jj 6 лет назад

Dixie Normous the edition apple watch does have have it but it has a blend of glass and saphire in it

@knight7se7en 7 лет назад

Moral of the story? If you buy an Apple product, get Apple Care. Period.

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

I suppose that's never a bad idea, M, but $119 total even with Apple Care is kind of steep - I would say that's the moral of the story!

@RobinMHopkins4851 6 лет назад

You added up the AppleCare cost plus the fee that you pay them when it's damaged, but you also get a second time to bring it in to be fixed. So if you paid, $49.99 + $69.99 + 69.99, that's about $190.00 (being fixed twice as appose to paying outright $199 for one fix). That makes it worth it for me.

@supercarsofwichita9485 6 лет назад

Morpheus moral of the story? Never buy an Apple product

@kodymiller1602 6 лет назад

Morpheus especially on MacBooks....

@kristentaylor2586 5 лет назад

Hey, work at a store that sells and repairs these. Apple Care is like any other insurance company. Everyone paying into subsidizes the few who actively use benefits. When I sell the watches and warn them about the dangers of not taking Apple Care people scoff, but it usually costs almost as much to fix an apple product as it does to just give you a new one.

@chelseaannisa9013 4 года назад

My apple watch screen didn’t crack. But the bottom side of the watch where you charge the watch cracked. Is it okay?

@loganmiller3882 5 лет назад

would you prefer apple watch series 3 gps +cellular or just gps? same for the series 4??

@itstheBMAC 5 лет назад

Just GPS. I’ll probably make a video about this!

@degagere 5 лет назад

Great video! I wish I had seen your video earlier.... My experience is identical to yours: same circumstances, emotional response when it happened,, reacted the same way when speaking with Apple etc except I have a series 3 and the repair cost is higher and did not produce and post a killer video. Your video should be mandatory to watch prior to purchasing an Apple Watch....

@MsPitenali 2 года назад

same here, series 3, still crying for my wallet's empty corpse. Bought a case for it now, tho

@mizmyya5122 5 лет назад

@FearPlaysGames 6 лет назад

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

The one in this video is a Series 1 - more info in the video description box!

@connor7568 6 лет назад

Do u get back the waterproof rating after the repair?

@itstheBMAC 4 года назад

Yes, if I’m not mistaken.

@china89dmz 5 лет назад

How about the corrosion that appears at the back and the sides of the apple watch? Is it covered with warranty?

@itstheBMAC 5 лет назад

I don’t experience any corrosion.

@andrewl.3382 6 лет назад

They also have to repair the Display. The display is OLED btw so it is a bit more expensive until someone can kill the monopoly Samsung has

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

The OLED display is also a fraction of the size of the iPhone though, PF. Still too high of a repair price in my opinion but thanks for watching and commenting!

@mikaela1393 5 лет назад

My apple watches screen went today broken!:(((( I’m crying literally right now😭😭

@itstheBMAC 5 лет назад

Ughhhhh. It happens to the best of us. I hope everything works out for you!

@mikaela1393 5 лет назад

BMAC Thanks! I hope it too!!

@clairebabin4957 6 лет назад

i was doing situps in my driveway like normal and my screen shattered when it hit the ground. its a series 3. didnt even have it a whole month yet.

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

Ugh. That's unfortunate to hear, Claire. I hope it all works out for you!

@wiseman2524 6 лет назад

I have a series 2 Nike + Apple Watch and paid $50 for Apple care and I just have one crack on it but not a spider web crack can they still fix that and how much would it cost I’ve never broken it before and don’t know what to do

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

What they usually will do is charge you $69 to get it repaired. Since you have Apple Care, there is a CHANCE that they can waive that fee - but they are not required to nor should they be expected to. It doesn't hurt to bring it into the Apple Store to see!

@stedavid13 7 лет назад

Wait, so how much did you have to pay to get your Apple Watch fixed? Maybe you said it somewhere in the video and I just missed it..

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

I sense sarcasm.

@paulcampelos3137 5 лет назад

I think the 30th time he said 199.99

@AlienGreen7 6 лет назад

Wow is it worth it to buy a screen protector or a case ? For the watch ?

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

I definitely recommend a case - my favorite is in the video description box - but a screen protector can be hit or miss depending on the individual's preference. My favorite screen protector is also listed in the video description box! I hope this helps!

@mailor5711 6 лет назад

@cheeseman5475 6 лет назад

Hi I have a question, I recently I bought an Apple Watch series 3 at Walmart and also got a 3 year warrant for it, and I was told I have to activate the warrant by calling the number in the receipt, and I was told by the cashier that if anything were to happen to it, Apple was going to replace it with a new one, not Walmart. So I called and it directed me to a Walmart care website where I had to take a picture of my receipt, and so I did, but I’m not sure if I activated the warrant, because the cashier said that Walmart won’t replace it, but yet it made me send my receipt to a Walmart care website. I’m confused if I even activated my warrant, I may sound dumb asking this, but I really want to be 100% sure because this watch was really really expensive and I want to be prepared Incase something happens to it, and I also paid $40 more for the warrant!

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

Hi there - unfortunately I won't be able to help you out much here as this is really a customer service question for Walmart. They'll be able to direct you what to do better than I can. I hope everything turns out for the better, however!

@mak3upadd1ct 7 лет назад

I actually have dropped mine on tile, lucky it didn't break. I'm not very careful either, at work I hit it against a brick wall a few times not hard but enough to think there would be a scratch but nothing. I'm actually surprised how sturdy it is to the amount of abuse I put it through. But 199 just to replace the screen is steep

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

I wish I was lucky as you, man! I totally agree - a $199 replacement cost is just crazy.

@authorofone 5 лет назад

It's so much because they don't replace the screen. They give you a whole new Apple watch and sync the data between them. It's very long and annoying to do. My Dad works at an Apple repair shop which just tells users looking for Apple Watch screen repairs to go to Apple.

@michael_harren 7 лет назад

UGH! I bought my apple watch a couple weeks ago, and I got the stainless steel one so I was already feeling pretty weird about spending so much money. The awesome salesperson at the Soho NYC store asked if I wanted Apple Care for $50 and I was all, "naaaaah I better not spend the money." She looked at me like I was insane and said "YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET APPLE CARE???" I thought she was gonna slap me, and now I know why. I need to go back in there and give her a big hug. Love your channel and sorry you had to endure this tragedy!

@gm92845 7 лет назад

Michael Harren How about buying a $5 glass screen protector.

@michael_harren 7 лет назад

That's just crazy talk! :-P

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, Mike! Getting Apple Care+, especially for the stainless steel version, can't hurt I suppose. I hope you never have to use it, though! Thanks for watching and commenting, man!

@Shackleford_Rusty 7 лет назад

Probably a good idea to buy the apple care but not for this, this really effects the entry level watched that have a glass screen. If you bought the stainless steel you should have a sapphire screen which really holds up. I've been using my daily for a year and change (stainless steel black) and banged it up against things like metal door handles and it's still scratch free.

@michael_harren 7 лет назад

Thats good to know!!

@speeddemon8438 5 лет назад

Shattered my series 4, needless to say I’ll never be getting an apple watch ever again due to the ABSURD price to fix a screen. I’ll be going with a Suunto, or Garmin from now on.

@samuelmanny6231 4 года назад

You should have bought crashguard

@yohaanbillimoria5761 2 года назад

The actual thing with apple is that they don’t fix it at all they just toss it away and give u a brand new one. That why the cost is that much

@user-tw9jk9vk5h 4 года назад

Is it the same for the series 4?

@itstheBMAC 4 года назад

Sure is!

@halleshelton8937 4 года назад

My series 3 shattered yesterday and I didn’t do anything to it

@droidchevere 6 лет назад

So if you crash your car , Do you blame the manufacture once the car has a dented bumper ?

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

Not nearly the same situation.

@droidchevere 6 лет назад

Yes it is the same lol

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

You're certainly entitled to that belief, Steven. 👍🏼

@notanurse2373 5 лет назад

It would be the same if to fix the bumper of a car, it cost $10,000. It’s not the fault issue, it’s the unreasonable prices, plus Apple has terrible repair PR bc they don’t sell repair parts, so they can monopolize the market of repairs. The real analogy would be a fender bender on a Civic that seems like it wouldn’t be a big deal to fix, except only Honda can install a new fender, and they can charge you whatever they want to do it, because it’s difficult to find third party parts, or someone who can.

@Heavenschild77 5 лет назад

steven thompson it’s funny how normal old fashioned watches don’t seem the have this problem. You think for the money they could at least use glass that’s shatter proof. It’s ridiculous and they know it’s a sure way to make easy money.

@JigokuHebi 5 лет назад

There is super thin hydrogen protection kinda like glass but less bulky And it self heals xD and it super cheap too

@itstheBMAC 5 лет назад

I'll have to check it out!

@dbfoxybrown 6 лет назад

He is so right..After dropping mine I went to Amazon and got a protective case to cover the screen. But be careful this thing can damage very easy.

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

Smart move!

@sharifudeen6068 5 лет назад

I left my watch on the edge the table the Alarm went off several times and the vibrations sent it off the edge. Screen fell out off the case and totally cracked but the touch was still operating. Had to get to upgrade to a series 4

@prowlus 6 лет назад

My apple watch (series 3) uses the Spigen tough armor casing inherited from my series 1 and 2 watches and that casing is a tank surviving hard floor drops , brick wall scuffing and being catapaulted 1/2 way across a room . kept my first 2 pristine and sellable for 2 years . Now its rocking on the Three . Best 15 bucks i spent ever!

@ben-jammin2284 6 лет назад

@miadelvecchio5425 4 года назад

apple care can be used up to 3 times so i think it’s worth it if you crack it 3 times, would you rather pay $597 without or $257 with? edit: i have applecare+

@itstheBMAC 4 года назад

UGH. Same thing happened to me. I hope it all works out for you!

@tishmakeawish 5 лет назад

Something even worse: my phone got the “exclamation mark of death” after a new software update which is a glitch from their part and they wouldn’t fix it. I never dropped it, never broke it. Nothing on my end. I take it to Apple and they claim it’s something they can’t fix and that I’d have to pay $229 for them to replace it with a refurbished watch. Really???? You screw up with your software and I have to pay? I was upset beyond explanation. I can’t believe they would treat their customers this way. So yes having apple care is absolutely important BUT...it’s only for 2 years and if something happens after the 2 years, you are screwed anyway.

@sydneysduckplanet 3 года назад

I literally broke my apple watch completely today. I got out if the shower and I grabbed my apple watch off the sink, then i bent down to get my clothes and my Apple Watch slipped out of my hand. I didnt know it was cracked and i picked it up and my heart dropped. It was completely ruined and now i dont have an Apple Watch. I only had it for basically a month because i got it on Christmas. Im very sad and i felt so cool having a Apple Watch. Be careful with your Apple Watch. Edit: It’s ok I got a new one because my sister broke hers before and she got a new one.

@pvplab7116 4 года назад

I havent shattered my watch but today it fell from the sink thing when I was cleaning it after sweating and it fell and my heart dropped it didn't shatter but it costs alot because to replace the screen they have to remove the back and all of the inside of the watch and remove the waterproof seal and then put it back so yea thats why on a phone there are 2 screws and you can easily remove the glass but on the watch its 10x more harder

@hannagoller4811 5 лет назад

In modern screens it's actually all sandwiched together into a single unit to make it thinner, meaning it's not just the glass being replaced, but the whole screen, almost the whole watch would be disassembled for this process and that includes dealing with adhesive and small parts. I'm not even a smartwatch guy (too small of a product life for me) but if you dropped a traditional watch on the floor the crystal would likely shatter, they're designed primarily for scratch resistance so are hard, which makes them brittle and prone to shattering in the case of sudden impact.

So agree!!!! I have my apple watch series 4 like that, and now i don't know how to repair it, cause i take to the service store and the price it so amazingly wonderful.

Let's hope Apple makes repair/replace costs of the Apple Watch more affordable soon - especially when one purchases AppleCare+!

@thezacmurphy 6 лет назад

As a repair tech, it’s so much harder to repair an Apple Watch than the iPhone so it’s an understandable rate for $199. An iPhone repair takes 15 minuets whereas it still takes me up to 2 hours to do an Apple Watch, and it’s so much more delicate and fragile. Even as a guy who repairs them, I still have apple care Plus on my 2015 model, and I’ll be putting it on my Series 3

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

I still don't agree that $199 is a fair price to repair the Apple Watch though, Zac. Apple is undoubtedly fixing these Watches and then selling them refurbished so they're "double dipping" so-to-speak on the repair. The repair cost should at least be reworked to waive the $70 fee when one has Apple Care.

@thezacmurphy 6 лет назад

BMACadelic as far as I know however, for anything malfunctioning with the device, or any physical damage, they do just replace the device rather than repair. I don't disagree with the notion that for ones where the case is in good condition, they're just repairing and selling as refurbished. for a replacement device, I would argue that $199 without Apple Care + is a good price. and as far as a straight up repair, those screens are expensive, and the repair is hard, so we normally charge $179-$199 where I work. I personally wouldn't pay that just for a repair, but for a new device that seems relatively fair.

@itstheBMAC 6 лет назад

Looks like we agree to disagree, Zac. No worries. When the Apple Watch itself brand new costs nearly as much as the replacement price, I find the repair/replace price to be far too expensive. The thing to keep in mind is that you have to trade in your broken Watch. Therefore, receiving a brand new device while trading in your damaged device still isn't as great as it may sound to some. Might as well just purchase a brand new one outright and keep the damaged one for a backup or something of the like. Just my personal opinion. 👍🏼

@klnsbl 5 лет назад

They replace the entire watch. That's why it's so expensive. Same story for the iPhone X, the only component they can separate from the phone is the display, if ANYTHING else breaks, you pay 550$ because they just replace the entire thing and give you a new one.

@itstheBMAC 5 лет назад

Just recently came across your channel. Like what I've see so far so I subscribed! Finally made the decision to upgrade from a Series 0. Decided to go with the Series 3 over 4.... got it for a good deal. Anyway, I normally buy AppleCare on all of my products, but ended up buying my new watch from Target. They have a warranty program that was $77 for 2 years and no deductible if you file a claim. I haven't had any experience with it yet (knock on wood), but definitely something to check out.

@screenPhiles Год назад

I dropped a Series 3 on a wooden floor about a foot and the screen shattered. Though to be fair I noticed that a few days before the break that there was a small crack; not enough to worry about at the time, but I think it compromised screen integrity. That being said, I've looked up some videos on repairing it and it doesn't look particularly hard. First I'm going to repair my iPhone 6 - I like to have a 'just in case of emergencies' phone - before I take on the Apple Watch.

@YuriThorpe 7 лет назад

Have you ever repaired a phone? It's hard.

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

I have not, but I'm not a multi-billion dollar tech company with the resources to easily be able to do so, my dude.

@YuriThorpe 7 лет назад

What are you going on about? There is someone who has to repair your watch, they're going to do it in one of two ways. The first is that they're going to do it in store and they're going to use parts they have on hand in order to do the repair. It's around an hour of work if everything goes well for a repair. Then you need to pay for a new LCD and digitizer for the watch. They don't just magic touch the device and make it fixed and they without a doubt don't repair devices at a loss. The other way they could do this is that they could mail the device out to an apple location that has the parts and the people who could work on it. In that case you're also going to have to think about the express shipping that goes with the parts and the work being done to the device. Also keep in mind that if they don't repair the device they typically offer you a replacement watch. I don't understand the problem that you're having.

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

"Going on about?" Who said anything about magic? Pretty sure what I said was a basic fact - I'm not a multi-billion dollar tech company with the resources to repair a phone. I was answering your original comment's question. I don't understand why you seem so confused. I thought I made it pretty clear in this video that I don't believe anywhere from a $120-$199 repair/replacement charge for this device is in the customer's best interest. It's pretty simple as that. If you think otherwise, you're perfectly entitled to that opinion.

@YuriThorpe 7 лет назад

So what should it cost? I don't understand what your point is. Are you saying that because they have so much money they should just pay out of pocket for your device to be fixed?

@itstheBMAC 7 лет назад

Again, I'm not the company. It is not my job to determine repair costs (doing so would be impossible as I don't have the numbers in front of me) and let's not jump to conclusions with that last statement in your comment. As a customer, it seems to be counterintuitive to market a smart watch as a "sports watch" only to have such a delicate watch (as demonstrated) cost nearly the price of a brand new Watch if it needs to be repaired. Apple Care cost to repair? ~$120. No Apple Care cost to repair? ~$199. That's counterintuitive and doesn't add up - a mere $80 difference? Come on. "Wear this watch while you're swimming or working out to track your workouts! If it bumps against a weight during workout or you hit it against the side of the pool, both of which are natural things to have happen, it'll cost $120-$199 to fix, though. Just so you know." Those prices need tweaking, what I'm saying is as simple as that. Apple Care purchasers need to be better taken care of. I love the Apple Watch, but the repair end of the device needs some major fixing (pun intended).
