I have cracked the glass on my watch, would it be better to repair or buy new watch?

Breaking the glass is not usually covered under the watch warranty. AFAIK, Apple does not repair Watches. However, you may be able to buy an out-of-warranty replacement watch from Apple for less than purchasing a new watch. It would depend on whether you want the same watch model or something newer.
