Yep! My Apple Watch 3 had this happen to it. I’m sorry this happened to you.

Yes my Series 0 and Series 4 both did that. My wifes Series 3 also did it. We dont wear Apple watches anymore
Apple Watch Reverso
Apple offered a free replacement for Series 0/1 as this was a known defect…that was however back in 2015/16…No Idea if they still honor this…doubtful but worth a try
This happened to me with my S0 like 5 years after getting it launch day
Not yet, but only time will tell…
Yep. Had this exact same problem with the S0. Apple replaced it with an S1 free of charge.
How it poped?! I am at my 4th apple watch (4,5,8 and now ultra2) and never had this issue...
Same here with my serie 1…. Battery 🪫 got fat
When you replaced the first battery did you use a new seal or try to reuse the old one? I did the battery in my wife’s S0 years ago and getting the seal just right was tricky.
Yes. Battery swollen.
Happened to my S3 about 2 years ago. Apple replaced it with another S3 free of charge even out of any warranty. My watch was about 3-4 years old at that time.
Not sure if they would still do anything like this at this time though.
I don't understand the problem. It's just an adjustable display.
I had the problem on my apple watch 6, I think I banged it on the side. First replaced with a "glue seal" did not work and happened again, then I glued it. The battery had not expanded. I ended up getting the new ultra
Happened to my s3
at least it'll be easy to change the battery now since it opened up for you. :)
I can close it fine (I have to force it open, it’s just way too easy to) so it’s not of major concern rn (at least, it can wait until after Christmas when I’m not broke while still using it normally). At least it did open up before it became impossible to close up without crushing the battery, so I have a bit of a warning signal.
This happened on my S6 but since I have warranty coverage there was no charge. It was not repaired but replaced.
S6? That’s rather new, and I don’t have warranty on mine anymore.
