| Use this guide to replace a broken, cracked, or defective screen on your Apple Watch Series 8. | | It is possible to replace the screen of the Apple Watch Series 8 without removing or disconnecting the battery first. However, this can lead to a malfunction of the NFC antenna under certain circumstances. If you are unsure about your repair, we recommend that you first follow the [guide|157362|battery removal procedure|new_window=true] and then continue with [guide|157363|step 17|stepid=330401|new_window=true] of this guide... | | | Replacing the display can cause issues with ***Apple Pay***. If possible, to reduce the likelihood of problems, delete all your Apple Pay account info before the replacement, and then re-enter it with the new display installed. | | This guide shows the procedure on the 45 mm cellular/LTE version of the watch, but the standard GPS-only version is similar. | | | You’ll need ***replacement adhesive*** to reattach components when reassembling the device. |
