Introduction
Use this guide to replace a broken, cracked, or defective displayscreen on your Apple Watch Series 7.
It is possible to replace the screen of the Apple Watch Series 7 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 [linkguide|https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Apple+Watch+Series+7+Battery+Replacement/152655|battery guide|new_window=true] and then continue with [linkguide|https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Apple+Watch+Series+7+Screen+Replacement/152656#s317484152656|Step 23|stepid=317484|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 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.
Conclusion
To reassemble your Apple Watch Series 7 follow these instructions in reverse order.
If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Apply a little bit of high isopropyl alcohol (>90%) to a Q-tip or use a cleaning pad to gently remove the leftover adhesive on the edges of the watch case and the screen before installing new adhesive.
***To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.***
