Swollen battery issue
Check out that bulging battery! It swells up when it fails! The screen falling off is the least of his problems. That thing is dead.
Digital Watch screen fell off
Was checking my FB feed while my wife was picking something up and saw my FB friend said his Apple Watch screen fell off while he was skiing. Apparently this is not a rare occurrence and checking Reddit & MacRumors show various posts about it. I have to t...

I wonder if this has anything to do with rapid changes in temperature messing the adhesive? Warm indoors, cold outdoors...
At least, in jest, I could say its now a skeletonized watch... Regards, skyeriding
Happened to my wife 3 times.
Each time with a new replacement watch. We think it was probably something in her sunscreen that was breaking the glue down.
Hello Joe
By looking at the picture it seems that the battery is responsible for pushing the display out. When the battery degrades or gets wet, it bulges, and pushes the display from behind. I’ve seen several iPhones happening this. Best. René
Smartwatch versus Oldschool mechanical watch
You have people who wear a smartwatch for getting the image to be hip. And the watch lovers who adore luxury watches with a heart. In my case, i am tired for pluging devices for power. The mechanical watch do simply wat it does, telling the time with a he...
