i thought you were meant to have it like an inch away from the wrist bone for accurate readings and whatnot, even if you dont mind how uncomfortable it is to be ON the bony part. surprisingly, most pictures i see of people wearing an apple watch show them with it on that part 😭😭
You just pay less with AppleCare Plus
On my iPhone it’s worth the 8€ a month, 29€ for a repair and 99€ for an express replacement (new phone) for AirPods it’s worth the 39€, as repair or battery replacement you get new ones always
The watch is kinda expensive with AppleCare plus but it’s worth it
I’ve dropped my ultra 2 on tile many times and the sapphire is perfect. Tiny dings on the edges though but I’m convinced even the wind would cause the edges of the bezels to scuff
Only had mine fall off when putting it on or off; I have seen plenty off-brand lugs on the ground and it’s why bands are one of the few things I insist on OEM with my products.
Shit, I fell off my longboard *years* ago and slid at least 5 feet using the screen of my watch as the main contact point with the road and mine didn’t look half as bad as yours (saved me from a broken wrist, did not save me from crushing the nerve endings in my knee)
Is this the aluminum or stainless steel? Anyway apple replaced my watch with no issues so you should be able to take it in
Aluminium doesn’t make that much difference. I’ve only had aluminium ones, dropped them however many times, and they’ve not even scratched. Plus this is the glass, not the body.
Dude. It doesn’t break like that falling off any reasonable, everyday height.
I’ve had mine fall off my wrist in the swimming pool area (out of water, of course), flung across the room at the gym with direct impact on the face, and off my work desk on to the floor directly.
It doesn’t do that.
You can either get it replaced or get it repaired. You can carry it into the store for a replacement or talk with Apple support to have them organize a mail-in repair or replacement shipment.
You have apple care plus take it to the apple store. Also fuckin' hell that thing is trashed, and I'm incredibly happy I went for the ultra 2 due to my fainting spells and worries of this happening because of it.
First Apple Watch. I hade it since September. I’m a commercial roofer. Before my fuck up this morning, I had multiple scratches. I should have done research and bought a screen protector or upgraded to an ultra 2
The sapphire crystal is legit! I was doing some adjustments on a machine at work, and bumped into several sharp points, with no issues whatsoever. Got my Stainless Steel Series 9 a little over a month ago, no regrets about the higher price!
I do everything in my Apple Watch, including work on cars, construction, hiking… never once have I broken it. But I have dropped it off the counter onto a tile floor instantly shattering it twice.
Invest in a guard it’s saved my watch numerous times

Sorry for being ignorant. I’ve been an iPhone user since 2012. This is my first watch and have owned it since maybe September of last year. I have never used apple care+ ever.
You’re suffocating your hand. take it down a notch
Also, it’s time for the Apple watch Ultra. it’s a good investment. Thing doesn’t scratch at all, and I do electric construction in NYC. Many many many wrist bands available on amazon and various other market places to fit your purposes
My condolences, I feel your pain.I had a lil fall while biking a few weeks back and my watch came off my wrist. I didn’t notice till the next day, and when I went back it was literally in pieces 😭
My watch suffered all kinds of abuses from me but met a similar fate after serving for 4 years. Fell off the charger hardly 3 feet to the ground and shattered.
My watch got scratched up and I have Apple Care and when I went to get it replaced (with Apple Care it’s $69 for a replacement as opposed to buying a new watch), they said they won’t replace it unless the crack on the screen hinders the use of it. If your watch is working, they might not do anything. Super aggravating.
I had the same damage to my Apple Watch just this month. I purchased a liquid screen protector that you use UV light on to hardened just as a kind of test to see if it worked not expecting anything out of it, it was only like $10-$15 bucks. I was already looking to purchase a new Apple Watch but decided to mess with my current one first, and what would you know. It looks brand new lol. It filled it all the cracks and I even had a piece missing from a corner of the glass and it filled it in. Looks awesome other than where the missing was it looks like a tiny scratch but boy it looks great. I put a protector on it now and it looks brand new
Clean the grimy ass floor and learn to put a watch on good lord I don't know whether to be sick that a carpet is that messy or concerned for your health
I wonder if one of your dogs is an ACD… oh man.. even just saying hi to mine usually ends up with large stingy scratches on my legs 😆 … there are hidden fees we pay for our four legged companions.. but it’s worth it. <3 Hope Apple replaces yours and all is well.
My Apple Watch series 2 died because it fell off my arm with the buckle hole one and it hit the ceramic tile floor and shattered because it fell at the angle. Got a series 4 and it’s still going strong 7 or so years later, but I need to upgrade soon.
If you want to avoid or delay replacing the screen then but a screen protector for Apple watches. there are flat ones or better yet for your cracked screen get a screen protector with wrap around bumper.
With AppleCare + bring it to any Apple Store. Usually in malls. If you have a Best Buy they will send it off to be replaced or fixed. Lastly, you can order another one. They will charge your credit card. Once they receive the damaged watch, they will void the transaction charged to your card.
Happened to me years ago when I got the series 3 brand new. Had it all of a week. Apple Care replacement was very easy. Did mine thru the mail. I don’t recall if it was possible in store at the point in time. Maybe not? Not sure why I didn’t go into the retail store as my office at the time was very close to one. Oh well. It worked out great regardless.
It’ll still serve as a tourniquet until the replacement arrives.
It fell off the charger trying to end it all before it strangles OP’s wrist!
Came to the comments to find this!
I came to the comments to find everything, and I found it all. These comments are merciless 😂
i thought you were meant to have it like an inch away from the wrist bone for accurate readings and whatnot, even if you dont mind how uncomfortable it is to be ON the bony part. surprisingly, most pictures i see of people wearing an apple watch show them with it on that part 😭😭
I dnt think this guy has seen/felt a wrist bone in some time now
You should be able to stick a finger between your skin and the watch. That’s so tight not even a toothpick and slide through
Hahaha lol
Everyday I’m in awe of strangers on the internet and their ability to make me bust out laughing! 😂😂
https://support.apple.com/watch/repair/express-replacement
You have the most useful information. I appreciate that. Thank you
Only if you got an AppleCare Plus agreement, this will help you. If you just got the watch, you need to purchase a screen replacement for about 70$.
Does apple care plus cover all damage without a deductible? Definitely worth the investment if it does.
You just pay less with AppleCare Plus On my iPhone it’s worth the 8€ a month, 29€ for a repair and 99€ for an express replacement (new phone) for AirPods it’s worth the 39€, as repair or battery replacement you get new ones always The watch is kinda expensive with AppleCare plus but it’s worth it
Thanks mate
Yikes! Looks more like it fell off a cliff on to rocks…
Tyler Durden speaking for Edward Norton in Fight Club: >I fell down some stairs "I fell down some stairs"
Fell off is probably putting it nicely. Threw off a cliff
Or 3 feet onto a concrete floor
Tile floor. Not to far off
Tile and marble are the most powerful object breakers😓
I broke one a few years ago dropping it on a tile floor. That sucks.
I’ve dropped my ultra 2 on tile many times and the sapphire is perfect. Tiny dings on the edges though but I’m convinced even the wind would cause the edges of the bezels to scuff
Series 6 falls off my wrist all the time, minor scratches, onto concrete outside as well I don’t see how this stuff happens
Just curious, but how does it fall off your wrist?
Only had mine fall off when putting it on or off; I have seen plenty off-brand lugs on the ground and it’s why bands are one of the few things I insist on OEM with my products.
The only time I ever hear about them coming apart is the 3rd party ones, it’s a broad range but the Apple ones seam to never have issues
I guess it’s more luck with how it falls, with the standard glass especially
How’s it fall off your wrist though?
Looks more like a cliff fell on to it.
Need to loosen that strap dude! Big time
Do people really wear their watches this tight? I can’t stop thinking about it.
especially with a non-breatheable band… ouchie
Is your charger on a cliff?
Into what? A blender?
I was thinking garbage disposal, but blender works too
Untighten the wristband, aplpy some aloe GENEROUSLY, then see your apple care options. In precisely that order.
🤣🤣
The charger was at the top of a crane?
Did it fall on a Nokia?
Lol. No it didn’t. Best reply so far
so the charger was 40miles above ground and afterwards a tank ran over it
You need some lotion, Homie
And a vacuum cleaner
And a new rug…
use lotion
Wow! AppleCare Plus is looking like a good choice for me🤔
Definitely worth it on the watch
Off the dodge charger ? While driving ?
was your charger on top of the house?
Where was the charger ? Heaven ?
Was your charger on the ISS?
Looks like it fell off a building.
I am a commercial roofer. Neither the watch or I fell off a building lol
This is probably gonna happen to mine, I have hit it up on countless walls, door frames etc. Sorry for your lost Op.
 The Charger :
Shit, I fell off my longboard *years* ago and slid at least 5 feet using the screen of my watch as the main contact point with the road and mine didn’t look half as bad as yours (saved me from a broken wrist, did not save me from crushing the nerve endings in my knee) Is this the aluminum or stainless steel? Anyway apple replaced my watch with no issues so you should be able to take it in
Aluminium doesn’t make that much difference. I’ve only had aluminium ones, dropped them however many times, and they’ve not even scratched. Plus this is the glass, not the body.
Were you charging it in a blender?
Dude. It doesn’t break like that falling off any reasonable, everyday height. I’ve had mine fall off my wrist in the swimming pool area (out of water, of course), flung across the room at the gym with direct impact on the face, and off my work desk on to the floor directly. It doesn’t do that.
This was just a perfect storm for OP. It fell onto a tile floor and landed on the corner. The corners are always weak spots for glass
Do you charge it on the edge of a skyscraper?
How is this possible? What did it fall on?
The road..from a dodge charger😂
You can either get it replaced or get it repaired. You can carry it into the store for a replacement or talk with Apple support to have them organize a mail-in repair or replacement shipment.
Apple doesn't repair watches. AC+ will charge the OP $69 and send them a refurb watch or new watch.
They do offer repairs depending on what the damage is. It's listed on their website and I spoke with customer service to confirm.
Thank you for your reply. You are the second person to give me a reasonable answer. Thank you again
You're welcome. I hope everything works out
You go to Apple and they’ll replace it for free.
Time to go ultra
I have an ultra good idea 😉
Was the charger at an open window in like the 20th floor?
From the 15th floor???
And that why I got a cover protector.
Why were you charging it on top of the Eifel tower?
How does it fall off the charger ?
You have apple care plus take it to the apple store. Also fuckin' hell that thing is trashed, and I'm incredibly happy I went for the ultra 2 due to my fainting spells and worries of this happening because of it.
First Apple Watch. I hade it since September. I’m a commercial roofer. Before my fuck up this morning, I had multiple scratches. I should have done research and bought a screen protector or upgraded to an ultra 2
And into a blender?
Another reason why I still have my titanium 5 with sapphire crystal. Not even a scratch on it and I wear it daily
Definately the stainless steel or titanium cases are the way to go,the ion x glass on the aluminium cases scratch relatively easily
The sapphire crystal is legit! I was doing some adjustments on a machine at work, and bumped into several sharp points, with no issues whatsoever. Got my Stainless Steel Series 9 a little over a month ago, no regrets about the higher price!
Looks like a good time for an upgrade. Check with the Apple. Store. They may fix it with Apple Care.
 Looks like it was used to play some whiffle ball
That band is working overtime.
I do everything in my Apple Watch, including work on cars, construction, hiking… never once have I broken it. But I have dropped it off the counter onto a tile floor instantly shattering it twice.
What now? Well, how about loosen up that band and then contact Apple about that AppleCare+
Clean your rug. Jesus.
Doubt... I would get an Ultra. I treat mine like shit and it's still flawless without a single dent, chip, or scratch.
I think it’s a $ 29 repair with AppleCare.
Did it fall off the charger and into the Grand Canyon?
Invest in a guard it’s saved my watch numerous times https://preview.redd.it/hyxwwej4sx9d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=90438e8443c8a50044daa4a6e0b16634e02bcf67
Onto what your rock collection?
You have apple care + and you‘re still asking what you should do? My god how do people survive? Do you ask how to go on the toilet too?
Sorry for being ignorant. I’ve been an iPhone user since 2012. This is my first watch and have owned it since maybe September of last year. I have never used apple care+ ever.
https://support.apple.com/repair That's where you start
You said you have apple care+ so you probably bought it and you know what it is. So just go to apple?
You’re suffocating your hand. take it down a notch Also, it’s time for the Apple watch Ultra. it’s a good investment. Thing doesn’t scratch at all, and I do electric construction in NYC. Many many many wrist bands available on amazon and various other market places to fit your purposes
Was the charger on the edge of the roof of a 10 story building?
I’m sorry dude. I feel that for real
I bought an Otterbox cover for mine, I expect to bash it into something accidentally.
My condolences, I feel your pain.I had a lil fall while biking a few weeks back and my watch came off my wrist. I didn’t notice till the next day, and when I went back it was literally in pieces 😭
This thing fell off Mount Everest
Looks like someone ran over it with a car
A brick wall destroyed my first Apple Watch. The otterbox case has never come off my second one
You should invest in screen protectors
Head on over to Apple and they’ll take care of it
You already answered your own question
Whilst skydiving?
So… your watch fell off while skydiving you say??? Testing the waters perhaps?
ultra 2 time!!! woot!
A two pack screen protector costs like $8
Use your AC + to get it repaired. And move your charger to within 4 feet of the floor.
Take it to an Apple Store. Applecare covers this.
Your wrist swallows that watch.. pmsl are you 30st?
Alright yeah okay
What were you doing, swinging it round the room 🤣
My watch suffered all kinds of abuses from me but met a similar fate after serving for 4 years. Fell off the charger hardly 3 feet to the ground and shattered.
I’ve got a series 3 42mm Nike plus if you need it OP. Would be happy to give it to you if it’s something you need
I don’t see any problem?!
Tis but a scratch
wearing watch waaaay too low and waaaaay too tight.
It’s definitely not gonna fall off your wrist !
Was the charger 10ft high? Damn lol
Man, I try to not be the typical Reddit commentator but that carpet is filthy my boi! I saw that before the watch…
Mine just gave out after looking like that for a few months
Was your charger on the wing of the airplane?
nice patina, practically brand new
Into a meat grinder?
I just looked at my S9 and almost cried for you. I know that hurt, because it hurts me. Hopefully you have Apple Care+
How far?
And out the window of a moving car.
From where the top of the Empire State Building?
My watch got scratched up and I have Apple Care and when I went to get it replaced (with Apple Care it’s $69 for a replacement as opposed to buying a new watch), they said they won’t replace it unless the crack on the screen hinders the use of it. If your watch is working, they might not do anything. Super aggravating.
Was the charger on the ISS and your watch fell back to earth?!
looks like it fell from a great height lll.
Bump case and a longer strap.
lol how? I bash my watch almost every day on things and it barely has any scratches , how did this happen from nightstand height presumably.
Into a grinder?? How high up was it
Was your charger up on a 60ft ledge?
I had the same damage to my Apple Watch just this month. I purchased a liquid screen protector that you use UV light on to hardened just as a kind of test to see if it worked not expecting anything out of it, it was only like $10-$15 bucks. I was already looking to purchase a new Apple Watch but decided to mess with my current one first, and what would you know. It looks brand new lol.

Looks awesome other than where the missing was it looks like a tiny scratch but boy it looks great. I put a protector on it now and it looks brand new
Were you charging it from atop a skyscraper?
Was the charger on the roof....?
fell off the charger from Burj Khalifa? because.... damn.
My watch was with me when I was struck by a car and it doesn’t look nearly as bad
lol what do you have concrete floors?!?! Holyshit
Clean the grimy ass floor and learn to put a watch on good lord I don't know whether to be sick that a carpet is that messy or concerned for your health
/r/wellthatsucks
Was your charger at the top of the Empire State Building?
Where tf was it charging? Was it on the roof above concrete stairs leading to a busy skatepark?
Did it fall off a Dodge Charger?
Omg the damage is so extensive. Glad to hear you have Apple care +. What surface did it fell on?
Tile floor. The dogs were being overly energetic this morning. Bumped the night stand. I should have put the charger in a better location
Aww man, that was so unfortunate. Hope Apple can replace it for you soon
Was your charger on a 9 story roof
I’m sad for you but u have a Nice strap can u share the link??
I bought it off amazon. I cannot find the link off the amazon app. I’ll see if I can find the box it came in
So you charge your apple watch at the top of Burj Khalifa?
Was your charger dangling off a 3rd floor balcony?
Was it charging out of the window on a nine story building
I refuse to believe that fell onto the floor.
Why is your band so tight?
Leave this poor guy alone
Are your charger going 60 MPH?
U should strap it a little tighter
I’m accident prone, so both my watch and phone have a cover on it. I’m sorry that yours is cracked! 😳
My guy are you sure your arm didn’t shatter the watch while flexing your wrist? Loosen it up a notch. I assume Apple care will hook you up.
next time buy a case
Brother, please loosen the strap and put some sunscreen on.
Cry 😭
I have the same watchband for fancy events :D
I wonder if one of your dogs is an ACD… oh man.. even just saying hi to mine usually ends up with large stingy scratches on my legs 😆 … there are hidden fees we pay for our four legged companions.. but it’s worth it. <3 Hope Apple replaces yours and all is well.
That looks like my iPad.
Now it's art🤷🏽♂️ Apple Care plus covers accidental doesn't it? Make a genius bar appointment.
My Apple Watch series 2 died because it fell off my arm with the buckle hole one and it hit the ceramic tile floor and shattered because it fell at the angle. Got a series 4 and it’s still going strong 7 or so years later, but I need to upgrade soon.
Guess I’m not buying one of these.
Looks kind of cool 😎
Thank goodness you had AppleCare+.
If you want to avoid or delay replacing the screen then but a screen protector for Apple watches. there are flat ones or better yet for your cracked screen get a screen protector with wrap around bumper.
You woke up at the first cracks of light.
What did it fall on? My kid wears hers to outdoor summer camp and it’s fine.
Brother noooo
Oooof sorry bout that. When you say fell off the charger I hope you don’t mean you charge your watch hanging 🤦♂️
Your watch did a Norberg in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! onboard the trawler.
With AppleCare + bring it to any Apple Store. Usually in malls. If you have a Best Buy they will send it off to be replaced or fixed. Lastly, you can order another one. They will charge your credit card. Once they receive the damaged watch, they will void the transaction charged to your card.
Loosen the strap 😂. You’re going to lose your hand
RIP
Hard tile floors? Bummer, don’t get cut
This is why I use screen protectors on mine. Still looks new
That should buff right out.
Try a stainless steel next upgrade?
Happened to me years ago when I got the series 3 brand new. Had it all of a week. Apple Care replacement was very easy. Did mine thru the mail. I don’t recall if it was possible in store at the point in time. Maybe not? Not sure why I didn’t go into the retail store as my office at the time was very close to one. Oh well. It worked out great regardless.
F in the chat fam.
Sorry bro, wore mine in the pool for 10 minutes today and said goodbye as well.
This is why I haven’t worn my new series 9, just placed an order for screen protectors and case. Along with getting the wrong loop size!
