Hi!

I have a Apple Watch Series 3 bought 2017 (4 years old already) that's not turning on or charging anymore.

Holding down both buttons (hard reset) will show the apple logo for about 1 sec, before disappearing again then zero response.

Went to Machines, they say cannot repair, ask me buy new one instead....

My questions:

1. Can recommend any shop/place that can repair the watch? I'm thinking it's probably a battery problem.
2. Estimated cost of repair and is it worth repairing?
3. How old is your Apple Watch that you are still using? (to get an idea of a typical lifespan of an apple watch)
4. Aside from telling time and health (steps/heart rate/etc) tracing, the most useful and frequently used feature that i like is the ability to unlock my phone when wearing mask. Are there any other watches or bluetooth device that can unlock our phone in a similar manner?

Thank you all in advance!

Was surprised too... I went to Machines KLCC, they told me Apple watches cannot be repaired. Offered me the option of paying RM929 for a S3 without box/strap/etc... apparently this is the normal "repair/exchange" option they offer customer...then she mentioned might as well buy a new S3 for RM8XX BNIB since it's offered on sale versus the RM929 "repair/exchange" option

1. I'm in Puchong but Klang Valley anywhere should be ok
2. 200-300 for the battery replacement? If i'm not tied in to the apple ecosystem, i would probably get one of those Huawei Band 6 (but i will miss the unlock phone feature)
3. Good for you! As for me, starting early this year (3 year old ++), the battery already cannot sustain 1 full day of use, charge overnight, morning 7-8am start wearing, evening ard 5 already no more batt...
4. The new S6 or S7 cost ard 1.7k... Assuming on my wrist/lifestyle it'd only last 3-4 years.... hmm... really makes me think twice... sigh....
