Cracked lens & glass
Many Garmins have a separate protective lens over the display — sapphire or mineral glass. On some models a lens-only swap is possible, which is the smaller job. We match yours.
GARMIN WATCHES · EVERY MODEL · WHEN NO ONE ELSE WILL
Yes, we fix Garmin —
when no one else will.
Cracked lens, dead display, a battery that quits by mid-afternoon, corroded charging contacts, worn Fenix and Instinct buttons, a broken band — even the watches Garmin itself won’t service and most shops won’t touch. Garmin doesn’t sell parts to repairers, so we source quality parts matched to your model’s original spec, check what’s actually available for your exact watch, and tell you before we order a thing. One bench, a straight answer before any work, and every seal done properly before it goes back on your wrist.

EVERY GARMIN REPAIR
If it’s a Garmin, it’s on our bench.
Not just cracked lenses. From a display that’s gone dark to charging contacts eaten by corrosion, here’s the lot we take on — quality parts sourced to your exact model, a proper assessment first, and a straight answer before we start. We even take the watches Garmin won’t service. Not sure what’s wrong? Bring it in, we’ll work it out for free.
Battery replacement
Quits by lunchtime, or swelling and pushing the back or lens off. A fresh cell to spec, then resealed.
Battery repairsDisplay, LCD & AMOLED
A dead, lined or black panel behind the lens. We replace the MIP or AMOLED display, sourced to your model’s original spec, and reseal it.
Buttons & side keys
Worn, mushy or stuck buttons — the classic Fenix and Instinct button wear. Replaced so they click properly and stay sealed.
Charging contacts & pins
Won’t charge, or charges only at an angle. Garmin’s proprietary contacts and pins corrode — we clean or replace them and test a full charge.
Charging port & clip
On models with a charge port or charge-clip cradle, a dirty or damaged connector stops it charging. Cleaned or replaced, matched to your model.
Bezel & housing
A chipped bezel or a knocked-about housing after a fall. Replaced and refitted so the watch closes up clean and seals again.
Water & pressure reseal
Any time a Garmin is opened it has to be sealed back up right — critical on Swim, multisport and Descent dive models. We reseal properly, every time.
Band & strap
A split strap or a seized quick-release. We fit a new quick-release band or strap so it clips on solid and comes off when you want it to.
Won’t power on / no charge
Dead, or nothing when you charge it. Often the battery or corroded contacts, not a write-off. Board-level work on Garmin is limited — we’re honest about what’s viable.
Liquid / water damage
Flooded past its rating, or corroded inside. Don’t keep charging it — flat $65 assessment first.
Water damageNot sure what’s wrong?
Watch acting up and you can’t place it? Bring it in. We’ll open it up, work out what’s actually wrong, and tell you honestly — the diagnosis is free.
Got more than a watch on the bench? We fix every laptop too, and everything else across phones, tablets and consoles.
PARTS HONESTY · SOURCED TO SPEC
Straight talk on Garmin parts.
Here’s the honest bit up front: Garmin doesn’t sell repair parts — not to the public, and not to independent repairers like us. So there’s no such thing as a ‘genuine Garmin’ replacement lens or battery you can just buy. What we fit instead is quality aftermarket, matched to your model’s original spec. Availability varies by model, so before we order anything we check exactly what we can get for your watch and tell you what it is.
We’d rather be straight than sell you a story. There are no genuine Garmin spares to be had, so we source the best quality part to the original spec — and you hear that from us before we order, never after.
Board-level work on Garmin is limited and model-dependent, so we’re honest about what’s actually viable for your watch rather than promising a fix we can’t stand behind. Get a quote
THE DIFFERENCE · WHEN NO ONE ELSE WILL
We take on what the maker won’t.
Send a broken Garmin back to Garmin and the usual answer is a paid ‘replacement’ — a refurbished unit for a fee, not a repair of the watch you own. Most independent shops won’t touch them either: they’re sealed, fiddly, and there are no official spares. That’s exactly the work we take on.
Cracked lens, dead display, a battery that’s swollen or quits early, charging contacts eaten by corrosion, worn Fenix or Instinct buttons — we open the watch properly, fit a quality part to spec, and reseal it. Where a fault runs deeper than that, board-level work on Garmin is limited and model-dependent, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s viable before you spend a cent.
A Garmin the maker calls a write-off is often a lens, a battery or a set of corroded contacts away from another season on your wrist.
Everything’s order-in — parts are sourced for your exact model once we confirm what it needs — and it’s all no-fix-no-fee. If we can’t do it, you don’t pay for the attempt. Start a quote
BATTERY & CHARGING · RUNTIME BACK
Battery, charging & runtime.
If your Garmin dies by mid-afternoon, or the battery has swollen and started pushing the back or the lens off, it needs a fresh cell. We fit a quality replacement battery matched to your model’s original spec, then reseal the watch — so it’s back to holding a proper charge, and back to holding out water.
Not charging at all is just as often the charging side: corroded contacts, bent or dirty pins, or a worn charge clip or port. We clean or replace the contacts and run a full charge cycle before it leaves. Bring the charging cable in with the watch so we can check the pair together.

LENS, DISPLAY & SEAL · DONE RIGHT
The lens, the display, and the seal.
A cracked Garmin isn’t always a new-screen job. Many Garmins have a separate protective lens sitting over the display — sapphire on some, mineral glass on others — and on some models we can replace that lens alone, which is a smaller job than a full display. Where the display itself is dead or lined, we replace the panel. Either way the watch has to be opened and, just as importantly, sealed back up properly.
- Many models carry a separate protective lens over the display — on some we can do a lens-only replacement, sapphire or mineral glass to match yours
- A dead or lined panel is a full display replacement — MIP or AMOLED, sourced to your model’s original spec
- Every watch is resealed for water and pressure after it’s opened — critical on Swim, multisport and Descent dive models, and we don’t skip it on any of them
No genuine Garmin spares exist, so we fit a quality lens or panel to the original spec and tell you exactly what it is before we order. Get a quote

GARMIN QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Do you use genuine Garmin parts?
The honest answer: there aren’t any. Garmin doesn’t sell parts to the public or to independent repairers, so there’s no genuine replacement lens, glass or battery on the open market. What we fit is quality aftermarket, matched to your model’s original spec. Availability varies by model, so before we order anything we check exactly what we can get for your watch and tell you what it is — before we start, never after.
Garmin says my watch can’t be repaired — can you?
Often, yes — that’s our thing. Send a broken Garmin to Garmin and you usually get a paid replacement unit, not a repair; most independent shops won’t touch them because they’re sealed and there are no official spares. We take them on: cracked lens or glass, a dead display, a swollen or short-runtime battery, corroded charging contacts, worn Fenix or Instinct buttons, a broken bezel or band — opened properly and resealed. Deeper board-level faults are limited and model-dependent on Garmin, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s viable before you spend a cent.
Can you replace a cracked lens or screen?
Yes. Many Garmins have a separate protective lens over the display — sapphire on some, mineral glass on others — and on some models we can replace that lens on its own, which is the smaller job. Where the display itself is dead or lined, we replace the MIP or AMOLED panel instead. Both are sourced to your model’s original spec, and either way the watch is resealed for water and pressure before it goes back — we don’t skip that step.
It won’t hold charge, or won’t charge at all — can you fix it?
Almost always. If it’s dying early or the battery has swollen, we fit a fresh cell to spec and reseal it. If it won’t charge at all, that’s just as often the charging side — corroded contacts, bent or dirty pins, or a worn charge clip or port — which we clean or replace, then test a full charge cycle. Bring the charging cable in with the watch so we can check the pair together.
What warranty do I get?
Every repair carries a minimum 90-day warranty on the part and our workmanship — longer on plenty of jobs. If something we fitted plays up in that window, bring it back and we’ll sort it. It’s all no-fix-no-fee too: if we can’t fix it, you don’t pay for the attempt.
Which Garmin models do you cover?
The lot — Forerunner, Fenix, Instinct, Venu, vívoactive and vívomove, Epix, MARQ, the Descent dive watches, Swim, and Enduro. Parts are order-in, sourced for your exact model once we confirm what it needs. Not sure which one you’ve got? Tell us and we’ll work it out.

Tell us the model and what it’s doing. We’ll have a proper look, tell you honestly if it’s worth fixing, and quote it before we open a single seal.
