The Apple Watch is an incredibly useful device, keeping you updated on notifications, calls, and messages, and serving as an essential companion for exercise, health, and daily life. However, due to constant use in all kinds of situations, accidents are inevitable. From falls during workouts to water damage, your Apple Watch can be at risk. Fortunately, at iProX, we can repair the most common Apple Watch problems so you can keep enjoying your device.
Common Apple Watch Accidents
Although Apple Watches are built to be durable, certain accidents can happen due to daily and sports use. Here are some of the most common:
1. Cracked or Broken Screen
One of the most frequent issues is a cracked or broken screen. While the Apple Watch display is tough, an accidental drop onto a hard surface, bumping into a wall, or even daily wear can cause cracks.
Common situations: Impacts during exercise, drops from the wrist, accidental bumps into hard objects.
2. Water Damage (Apple Watch Series Before Series 2)
While newer Apple Watches are water-resistant, older models (Series 1 or earlier) are not fully so. Submersion in water or prolonged liquid exposure can damage internal components.
Common situations: Wearing it in the pool, forgetting to remove it in the shower or heavy rain, spilling drinks on it.
3. Battery Problems
Another frequent problem is battery degradation. Over time, the Apple Watch battery can lose capacity, leading to shorter battery life or unexpected shutdowns.
Common situations: Natural battery wear after years of use, constant overcharging, heavy use of power-intensive apps.
4. Stuck or Damaged Digital Crown
The digital crown, essential for navigating the Apple Watch, can become stuck or unresponsive due to dirt buildup or impact damage.
Common situations: Dust accumulation, accidental knocks affecting the crown’s mechanism.
5. Damaged Heart Rate Sensor
The heart rate sensor on the back of the Apple Watch is crucial for fitness tracking but can crack or break, especially with heavy use or strong impacts.
Common situations: Hard impacts during physical activities, gradual wear from intensive use.
6. Strap or Connector Damage
Apple Watch straps are interchangeable and generally durable, but the connectors between the strap and watch body can wear out or break.
Common situations: Frequent strap changes, wear on connector parts from constant switching.
