I have 2 vertical white lines on screen but otherwise all works perfectly
No cracks on screen and fully responsive
What part do I need, it happened after I replaced battery
Is this a good question?

Hi
This is usually cause by 1 of 2 things
1)A dodgy screen connector, try reseating it and cleaning the connectors(both screen and board) with some isopropyl alcohol
2)A broken screen, this is there more common of the 2 occurrences ,although the screen looks ok from the outside it can be internally damaged causing this issue to happen, you will most likely need to replace the display if reseting and cleaning doesn't work
Here's the guide you may need
Apple Watch Series 2 Screen Replacement
Hopefully this helps
Any questions please ask
Thanks:-)

Thanks yeah don’t think screen broken as was working perfectly before I changed battery and all functions operate so probably thinking connector, if I have damaged do you think replacement connector rather than screen?
a connector replacement requires advances soldering skills due to it being really small
its most likely the screen as they are hard to get off and are extremely delicate
also did you try cleaning and reseating?
Thanks:-)
@nicci13 - Sadly, you do need a new display assembly. You clearly had a hit within the top left corner you can see the damage.
@nicci13 the screen was working before until you opened it. Unfortunately you've probably damaged one of the ribbons. You have to be really careful with smart watches as it's so easy to catch or pull something. Cheapest option for a replacement screen is buying a icloud locked watch off eBay and using the screen. I used to do this when I repaired fitbits.
