Apple Watch S6 official repair/battery replacement account

by Poster Mar 31, 2025 27
# Full text abstract The Australian version of Apple Watch S6 purchased in September 2020 experienced a screen disconnection and a white apple when turned on. When it died but not completely dead, the battery was replaced, and it was successfully replaced with an official version of the S6, which cost 809 yuan # Problems arise The S6, which has been in service for nearly 5 years, recently turned white apple after automatically shutting down. After turning it on, it was found that the middle 1/3 of the screen was basically invalid, and it was very, very stuck, and even the combination lock could not be unlocked. After restarting several times, I caught up with the middle 1/3 of the screen and there was a little correspondence. I quickly changed the password to 131399 to avoid the fact that the middle screen could not be touched again and could not enter the password. I estimate that the white apple has something to do with touch necrosis, which should be due to the self-test failure or something like that. # at the Apple Store I went to the Apple Store to describe the situation. After checking, the product did not belong to any recall plan. Genius Bar asked if I swam with a watch. I didn't swim with a watch, but I often took a shower with a watch, so I answered "I haven't swam". I said, can you help me change the battery? Genius Bar readily agreed, saying that as long as you can run a test of the battery percentage, you will definitely be able to change the battery and switch to the official machine. # Processing I ran for on-site inspection and issued a work order. The work order described that the screen was stuck, the battery was less than 80%, and it didn't say that the middle of the screen failed (that was an intermittent problem after all). After that, remove the strap and return the single watch body to the factory. Three days after returning to the factory, we receive an email saying that we will start processing, and we will replace your product. Wait another 6 days and an email came saying that the product had returned to the apple store. Pay 809 yuan when taking the meter. # takeways Here is the learning 1. At present, the battery replacement of S6 is still S6 and will not be upgraded. Moreover, Genius Bar said that the early versions are now in stock, so the current mechanism should be replaced with the same year model 2. APPLE STORE does not always have watches, and 100% of the watches will be returned to the factory after battery replacement 3. Swimming may cause screen damage 4. Returning to the factory on the grounds of battery replacement is only subject to the health of the battery in the running test, and other appearance damage and small screen problems are not hindered. My watch is pure Iraqi color, there is a big scratch in the middle of the screen, the protruding edge of the screen has been frosted, and even the buckle connecting the watch and the strap doesn't work. 5. Change the battery of the foreign watch without looking at the purchase voucher # personal experience When it was not repaired, it can basically be said that it was a corpse with a value of 0 (the value should be less than 200). Now it costs 809 yuan to get a watch with a brand-new appearance and 100% battery capable of AOD, ECG and blood oxygen. I feel that it is worth the money. I feel that everything else is similar except that the screen is smaller than the cash.

    The screen of my s6 was blurred for a while. I thought it was because I was sweating too much and there was water inside. I could only use it as a vibrator. I sent a message to remind me, but then it got better for no reason. It has been more than half a year, and the always-on function is turned on normally. But your $800 is not cheap...

    @ Anonymous772 I've been struggling for a long time whether to buy a new one directly, but when I think that the S10 is also charged once a day, I feel unable to get my energy up. This is equivalent to buying a brand new S6 for 800, and it will make a lot of money without any epic updates. Unless the next version can be recharged every three days, then I really regret it

    @ Poster In fact, there is "almost" no "perceived improvement" in these generations of updates from 6 to 7, 8, 9 and 10. Even the CPU of 6, 7 and 8 is the same. Since 9, siri's local capabilities have been enhanced a little, but the practicality There is still no "qualitative change" in the degree, and 10 is also an anodyne update. So from a practical point of view, 6 is definitely enough... There are all practical functions, and the new version won't bring actual perceived improvements in daily use.

    Will swimming while wearing affect the process of changing batteries out of warranty?
  • Poster Apr 1, 2025
    @ Anonymous5344 is like this. If the screen is bigger, there is actually no perception. I still have an S8 or 9 at home that my daughter-in-law brings occasionally. I also play with it from time to time, almost saying that there is no actual perception. The S6 is definitely a very important generation, it charges fast and has AOD

    @ Anonymous4210 As long as it can run diagnosis, the appearance is not obviously damaged, and it doesn't matter whether water gets in or not.

    @ Poster Yes, the screen is bigger and you can't feel it in daily life. In fact, many improvements must be seen by two "side-by-side comparisons". This is almost the case for Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad. This kind of hardware forms and functions have almost come to an end. Without "major" technological breakthroughs, they are all small tinkering, and some are even "it is better not to mend it". For example, the Camera Control Button of the iPhone 16 generation is really of little practical significance

    The cook may not be able to do anything else, but it really doesn't matter if he collects the wool related to the inventory. I replaced the battery for the S4 Hermes co-branded model a while ago, and even a genius could take out a brand new one

    @ Anonymous1634 # 8 Probably the watch is small enough, and the stock in the warehouse is comparable to the quantity circulating on the market

    Is @ Poster a domestic apple store? Which city?

    S5 is ready to wait for this year's Ultra 3, the battery is 71%
  • Poster Apr 1, 2025
    @ Anonymous2274 # 11 I guess that should be the case. I think it depends on personal needs. You can directly sell second-hand ones and buy new ones. I feel that the S6 is enough. I don't expect to fall off the iron axe and fish out a gold axe or a silver axe. Moreover, my iron axe is Iraqi with color screen disconnection. A brand new iron axe is worth it to me

    I used to swim at the seaside and then my watch kept dripping. The touch failed. I didn't expect it to be water. I went back to charge and forced it on and burned the screen. Then I went to Huaqiangbei to repair it. The master lifted the screen and asked me if it had been repaired. He said that the s6 generation had design flaws, that is, poor waterproofing. (I believed in Apple too much at that time, I took it with me for bathing and washing hands) Although s6 has aod, the appearance is better after s7. I can't stand the big frame, so I don't want it

    @ Anonymous4508 Really, I'd better not take the shower with me in the future... In the past 4.5 years, I have taken the shower with me at least about 30% of the time, and I have never picked my hands and even rubbed them with soap

    My wife's first generation se, can I also go to Genius Bar to replace it with a new model?
  • Anonymous4508 Apr 1, 2025
    @ Poster Yes, washing with hot and cold water for a long time causes the glue to age. The master said it is a 6 common design defect. It is easy for the panel to fall off and get water I heard and believed in Apple before. It's too funny that you can't go into the water even in swimming mode. I will never buy an Apple watch again. This is the second time I have gone swimming in the sea. I have been using it for a year and a half

    I feel that it is not worth replacing the aluminum alloy one, but it is worth replacing the stainless steel one at 809 yuan

    Don't think it's a good idea to replace the battery. Watches that need to replace the battery are at least 3 years old. Now it's 10th generation, and the ones that need batteries are at least 7th generation ago. Buying a second-hand one costs about the same as replacing the battery.
