The Apple Watch SE (2nd gen) came out in 2022, with a 40 mm or 44 mm Retina OLED, not always-on display and the S8 SiP chip. It charges on a magnetic charging puck and it unlocks with a passcode, or from a paired iPhone. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated 50 metres water resistant. The screen goes dark when your wrist is down rather than staying on, and the case is the older 40 or 44 mm size with a wider bezel. Aluminium only. A2722 is the model sold here.

What this fixes
The faults a free diagnostic puts right.
- Several things wrong at onceOften one cause with several symptoms, which is exactly what a diagnostic is for.
- It got worse after a repair somewhere elseWorth looking at properly rather than repeating the same repair.
- You do not know what is wrongPerfectly normal. Describing what it does is more useful to us than naming a repair.
- More than one thing is wrong at onceTwo faults together are usually one cause, and finding it is cheaper than fixing both.
- It works, then it does not, with no patternAn intermittent fault is the hardest thing to price without looking, which is exactly what this is for.
- Somebody else has already tried to fix itWorth starting from scratch. A device opened in a hurry often has more wrong with it than it arrived with.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely a hardware fault?
A diagnostic is not a repair, it is the step that stops you paying for the wrong one.
IfOne clear symptom and an obvious cause
You probably do not need this. A cracked screen or a tired battery is priced on its own page and can be booked directly.
IfIt is a work phone and downtime matters
Tell us when you book. We look at those first and tell you early if it is going to take longer than a day.
IfYou already know exactly what is wrong
Then book the repair rather than the diagnostic. There is no reason to pay for a step you do not need, and the repair price already includes the checking.
IfIt is under manufacturer warranty
Go to them first and we will tell you so. A defect inside warranty should not cost you anything anywhere.
IfIt has been in water
That is a liquid damage assessment rather than a standard diagnostic, and it is a different piece of work.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
Genuine Apple service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.
The words genuine and Apple certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
What the Free diagnostic includes
- A full inspection on the bench, free
- A written answer on what has failed
- A price before any work happens
- No fee if we cannot fix it
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the watch is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Free diagnostic
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
You approve the price
You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
The repair is carried out
Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.
Bench testing
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
Before it goes back
What we test every time.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Power, charge and battery health
The three things that explain most faults before anything is opened.
Display, touch and every sensor
End to end, because a fault in one often points at something else entirely.
Cameras, speakers and microphones
All of them, so nothing turns up as a surprise a week later.
Ports and buttons
Including the ones you did not mention, since damage rarely lands in only one place.
Is anything on the device at risk?
Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.
Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.
Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.
An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.
Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.
If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

We quote it after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.
Usually while you wait. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
Usually while you wait for the straightforward ones. An intermittent fault sometimes has to be left running for a few hours to catch it, and we will tell you at the counter if that is likely.
Then you pay nothing and take the phone away knowing what is wrong with it. That is a legitimate outcome and it happens often.
No. It is free, it is honest, and there is no fee if we cannot fix the device.
Only with your say-so. You get the cause, the price and the option to say no before any paid work starts.
Then that is what we tell you, and you pay nothing. We would rather lose a repair than sell one that does not make sense.
