I've called Garmin support service but they said that displays units are not for sale from their side, only entire watch can be sold. I find it quite strange for not saying stupid because it's normal that using a watch displays can have a problem or that can be broken and easily fixed by replace them.

Being that said, if someone finds an alternative please share it, thanks
