apple watch Apple Watch Series 6 screen separating from the watch, second time

Apple Watch Series 6 screen is separating from the watch. Second time this has happened. 1st time in 2023 it got replaced under the quality programme. A refurbished watch got sent out to me. Now I’m facing the same issue again. Seems like apple are trying to make money out of customers from buying a new one. Any easy temp fixes? Was thinking of glueing it back on. Is it safe to do so?

If the battery is damaged and expanding, it can cause the screen to separate from the housing.

You should get the watch fixed by paying the service fee for "Other Damage"

Apple Watch Service and Repair - Apple Support

Have you been swimming with the watch lately? Water ingress can also damage the battery.

Sorry, but glueing the display back on will not help in this situation.
