Apple says it has found a problem with the 40mm version of the Apple Watch Series 6 and is offering free repairs to affected users through a new repair program.
The company said:
Apple has found that the screen of a very small percentage of 40mm Apple Watch Series 6 devices can remain blank permanently. The affected devices were manufactured between April 2021 and September 2021.
If your Apple Watch Series 6 has shown this problem, please use the serial number check below to see if your device qualifies for this program. If so, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will provide the service free of charge.
Customers of the Series 6, which was replaced as the best Apple Watch by the Apple Watch Series 7 last year, can enter their serial number to check eligibility. If they are, they can get help through an authorized Apple service provider, a meeting at the Genius Bar, or through Apple support if they prefer to get help remotely.
Apple says it may limit repairs to the country or region of purchase and that the program does not extend the standard warranty on the watch. Apple says the devices qualify for the program for two years after the device’s first retail sale, so some users may not have much more time to test.
