Broken back glass Apple Watch

Back glass on my watch 8 has broken, not sure how. Very little is chipped away and there seems to be some small internal shattering. Everything on the watch works, sensors work normally. Since I noticed the breakage (1 week ago), it has not spread.

I am wondering how important it is to change the back glass or replace the watch? Could the breakage impact sensors in long term?

Bearing in mind that without AppleCare+, Raicya's excellent advice will mean effectively buying a new watch at a discounted price, if there is no chance of injury and it still works, keep it dry and use it til I stops working

Visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Reseller in your region for assistance to diagnose the problem.

And they could offer a possible solution.

You will first have to make an appointment due to the pandemic.
