  • Other damage: $159–$800

With AppleCare+

A fixed fee per accidental-damage incident, covering two incidents every 12 months. Battery service is free once maximum capacity falls below 80%.

Apple Watch repair cost in the United States — frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace an Apple Watch screen in the United States?

Apple US does not publish a separate Apple Watch screen replacement price. Out of warranty, a cracked screen is priced under the "other damage" tier, which runs $159–$800 depending on the series, case size and finish — Apple replaces the whole watch rather than the glass alone. With AppleCare+ active, the same accidental damage costs $69–$79 per incident. All figures exclude taxes and are effective 8 August 2026.

How much is an Apple Watch battery replacement in the United States?

Apple US's out-of-warranty battery service estimate runs $79–$99 across the Apple Watch range. With AppleCare+ there is no charge once maximum capacity has fallen below 80%.

Does Apple charge to replace an Apple Watch band?

Apple's repair pricing covers the watch itself, not the band. Bands are sold as accessories and are replaced by buying a new one rather than booking a repair, so no band appears in the estimates on this page. A band that fails inside the standard one-year warranty is covered as a warranty claim.

Why does Apple list only two repair prices for Apple Watch?

Apple's watch repair widget offers two service tiers — battery service and other damage — rather than the itemised screen, back glass and camera breakdown it publishes for iPhone. An Apple Watch is serviced as a whole unit, so any accidental damage that is not a worn battery is quoted at the single "other damage" rate for that model.

Do these Apple Watch repair prices include tax?

No. Apple US publishes these as pre-tax repair-service estimates. Applicable taxes are added on top, and the Apple-authorised service provider sets the final price after inspecting the watch.
