i actually like this battery failure, when the battery decides its done it does the hard job of opening up the seal without damaging anything making this design flaw easy for most people to fix, i dont think apple saw that coming when they designed it otherwise they would have made it shatter the screen so it was harder to fix

Being Apple it's never a good thing the device facilitates the opening/repair/upgrade; they are more likely: you sweat too much and that caused the battery to bulge so stop drinking so much water, u are using the watch wrong

Wait, so when the battery starts going bad, it opens the watch for you so you can easily repair it? Somebody at Apple is getting fired for that one.

I think its actually a GOOD thing, try to pry the display out of the watch, you can actually break the display, now, when its time to replace the battery, it get swollen and pushes the display clean of, awesome! Just replace that battery and re-install the screen! Cool!

Batteries normally degrade over time and expand, you can’t sue over a natural occurrence, some people are just downright dumb, and Hugh showed it’s a 5 mins fix, which is surely cheaper than going to court and losing 🧐

The problem with your argument is apple should've known this therefore leaving space to allow the battery to expand.
I wanted to thank you Mr Hugh Jeffreys, because of your videos on how to repair all these gadgets, I was able to successfully replace the rear glass of my OnePlus 7t that was shattered. I really didn't have the money to pay for an out of warranty repair from OnePlus directly, and I couldn't find anyone local who would replace the glass because they couldn't get parts. (I think it's more likely that OnePlus is still relatively unknown over here in the States, so it doesn't pay to stock parts) I only spent 40$ on the replacement glass from Amazon and saved almost 150$ by not sending it out to Oneplus, plus the added hassle of being without a phone for who knows how long. It is because of videos like yours and Louis rossmann and others that make it possible for a total novice to fix his own phone and feel confident in knowing what he was getting into.! Thanks bro!
People should be more aware of the e waste problem! I’m so glad I found this channel! Now I am attempting to repair my dad’s iPhone SE first generation so he can continue to use it!
It’s nice that the watch does the hardest part for you! (Opening itself up)

Great Video Hugh, love the content! This was helpful for my 2015 OG Apple Watch. Thanks again!
Thank you for the video. I was able to replace my watch battery. Disconnecting the delicate battery cable was a bit nerve racking. I opted to keep the screen attached because after watching videos where they remove the screen I was a little reluctant to try removing the clip and cables needed to do that. With the screen attached I had a very hard time putting the adhesive on so I bought the E7000 glue and used that. Worked like a charm and was much easier. I used rubber bands to hold the screen in place until the glue dried. I did check to see if anyone locally repaired them with no luck. To all you folks out there that are afraid to do the repair - the watch is already broken, what are you going to do? Break it more?????
Hey Hugh! Please do more PCs, TVs, macs etc, I seem to enjoy these more than simple phone fixes. Thank you!
Man, hugh jeffreys came a long way! i still remember 2015/2016 eras and 2014 eras when u had arriana grande everywhere, + you had that soft voice, man those were good days, you inspired me alot and i wanna thank you alot! stay safe

I’d recommend using b7000 glue over the adhesive. I’ve found the adhesive doesn’t stick well.

Hi Hugh, another great repair as always. You're a magician and I love watching your videos. I wanted to ask if its possible to repair a Huawei watch lug. I have a Huawei Sports watch 2 model number leo-bx9. I have broken the outer bezel where the strap pins go into the watch lug. I have looked online and found this was a common problem but can not find any repair solutions. Can you please help or advise. Thank you for your help in advance. Love your work!

Hey, I have an iphone 6+ and a 6S+, both on the latest available software. You should not worry about updating a 6/6+ to the latest it will run (12.5.1). Performance is good.
I had this issue with my series 1 and I took it to the Apple store and they gave me a series 2 for FREE. That was pretty cool.

Hello Hugh Jeffreys. Just subbed. Great video. Here’s my question. Where did you get that battery for £8. Can you post a link? Thx
My mom got a new Apple Watch today. I’ll show my mom this video just in case this happens to her. Nice video! I’ll call you “The e-waste preventer.”
I did an Apple Watch repair, and it was super cheap and quite easy. The only expensive part is the displays, and they do tend to be a little pricey.
Thank you! My watch is functioning normally again for $15!

This reminds me of the problems that some models of iPods have, like the mini or nanos for example. What would happen is that the battery would expand and push up on the display, causing the back to have a 'black spot' that would slowly grow. Some models, like the minis, have to *slide* out the internals and with the expanded battery, this would be extremely difficult.
very helpful. My applewatch series 3 just peel off the cover after using it for 1 year and 3 months. I hope the applewatch affiliated service center will be able to fix the problem. Didn’t expect to have this kind of problem as early as now.😞
Hi Hugh! Do an imac collab with Psivewri
You should definitely do a custom housing for the Apple Watch !
Thank-you for making a succinct and concise how-to addressing the Apple Watch battery replacement. You have presented in 5 minutes almost everything one needs to know in order to embark upon the replacement themselves. I feel I can confidently fix my wife's watch. I wish I had seen your video first. I could have avoided numerous 15-25 minute mind-numbing videos that covered the same subject and took *forever* to get to the point (and stay there). Come on people, learn how to edit and present! I certainly welcome and agree with your editorial content at the end. Apple sucks!
I had this problem twice with the 1st gen apple watch. The first watch was replaced by apple. When the second watch failed I decided to just upgrade to a series 5 since the 1st gen watch was so slow it was only really good for telling the time.
Hi big brother, I am from INDIA, I loved your videos... your restoration works are amazing, I wish i can buy a refurbished flagship phone from you but i cant afford it...
How good was the battery life in that swollen state?
Are these new batteries that you install any good? How are they compared to genuine Apple batteries?
that screen protector makes me uncomfortable😣
Hey Hugh! Quick reminder here, after a battery replacement the device has to plug into the charger for it to turn on first time. I noticed this when I replaced battery in my iPhone 4s and a friend of mine told me, he used to work at a apple reseller
nice video keep up the good work lol
This guy is so caring
Fixed up but now my new battery is just showing the apple and then turning off…what can I make of this? Great content! Super easy fix
Mine didn't come apart like this. The glass burst around the edges of the LCD! I picked it up, and off went the screen. Thought the screen was a goner because I didn't see a ribbon cable. Turns out the adhesive tape that holds it in internally was adhered to the ribbons.. Surprisingly the screen and all of its features still work perfectly. Instead of replacing the screen, I just decided to use some strong adhesive around the crack and it's good as new lol..
Just bought an Apple Watch for 25 euros, thank you for the tip :)
same issue on mine I'll be follow your guide thank you! (they ask me 190euros)

We need more videos mate
Do you have links or specs for those parts?
I would recommend also replacing the force touch gasket. It only costs 3$ and already has the right adhesive properly applied to it. That‘s how I always do it. The important thing is to seal the display properly. What you have to do: 1. Unscrew, unplug and remove the old force touch gasket 2. Clean the frame VERY thoroughly with alcohol 3. Adhere the new force touch gasket to the frame precisely. Then plug and screw it in. 4. Attach the screen 5. remove the upper protective film from the gasket and stick the display down. Of course the display has to be free from glue. 6. This is the most important step: Clamp the watch to a table display down with a reasonable amount of force using a clamp with felt tips in order not to damage the watch 7. Heat the watch to 70*C to 80*C while it‘s clamped down. Then let it cool down again. ONLY THEN unclamp it. Finished! I‘ve tried several methods and this one achieves the perfect seal! My Apple Watch Series 2 is even waterproof after replacing the display! I don’t recommend to try that tho, I just accidentally went swimming with it, oops.
