Apple Watch Series 3 screen replacement
Hello people from ifixit,
I need to know if the complete screen from Apple Watch Series 3 is the same as Series 2 and can be replace one for the other or need to remove some flex or IC from one to put in the other. Some people tell me that need to change the NFC IC.
Thank you

Hello Dan, and thank you for you're quickly answer.
Really what I need is a technical opinion and not about warranty coverage because I have many Series 2 from many customers with crack screens that need to be replaced.
But no one has big quantity of Series 2 complete screen on the market to buy. For this reason I posted the question. My supplier in China who I did buy many Series 1 complete screens (hyper-trustable) tell me that the LCD & Touchscreen module is compatible.
But, need to replace a flat ribbon cable with some component that are glued on the back side of this module, they call it the NFC IC but I don't know really if is trueIy inclusive in the Series 3 teardown description the IFIXIT team wrote this info: "Spec-wise, the display is unchanged from the Series 2, with one key difference - it now functions as a multifrequency (LTE?) antenna. We'll be testing compatibility to see if the displays really are interchangeable."
Based in this info I believe that both are compatible.
Thanks
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

@quekilombo I would recommend you watch this YouTube Vid: Apple Watch Series 3 Teardown and Comparison! (GPS vs LTE) Alex goes over the screen a bit.

An Apple Watch Series 1/2 screen is different than the Series 3 by part number. I don't believe you can substitute one for the other.

What are you basing this on ? Obviously apple part number is different cant see the local Apple authorised repairer transferring the NFC onto a series 2 lcd . This is the Aftermarket we do what is possible. Im also currently researching this also and about to trial it.
