Good to see you applying glue when assembling back. Some are not doing this important step
The idea is clever, I used it, it had a good result. Thank you for this link in the description
Great job, I'm from Brazil, greetings, can you tell me how long this watch takes to replace the battery?
Did you just need to heat gun the watch in order to de stroy the glue? I do wonder if the newer ones can be opened the same way....
كين خويا يونس ديما جديد
Yes gread job
Thank you. Was there any glue on it to begin with? I see people heating it up to melt the glue before they try to get the top off.
Good job

Mine must have been cemented on the watch started breaking trying to open it chip by chip
I let my battery run completely out till there was nothing on the screen for a couple days, recharged the battery, and it's staying charged again just like brand new. Hopefully this helps someone so they don't have to take the watch apart.
If it stays on charge for a whole night, this is a mistake. If water gets into a watch, expect problems inside the watch
🖤
Its like mine is glued shut. I am literally destroying the shell. Nothing works.
Garmin best watch army
You don’t saw us how you really struggled to open it.. also when you open the screen ,there is no cable in it…so go tell your friends about it and leave the rest world
I opened it from the sides of the screen.All you have to do is open it carefully and do not rush to fix it.
Perfect way to void you're waranty !!!!!
is it possible to buy only the face of the clock instead full screen? i only want to change face color...

Thank you for this information, now I can properly inspect my watch if I ever need to service it myself. I could not find any documentation online for this watch (PCB, Schematic diagram, disassembly procedure, etc.) and your video taught in a concise way that was easy to follow. Now I may reverse engineer at my leisure!
My only advice to you, is to mention the precaution regarding the flex cable at the before using the pry tool rather than at the end and to perhaps show an image or footage showing the placement of the flex cables, for those who aren't wise enough to watch the video fully before attempting to open the watch, and pause before you clarify. 😉 (This is a very small complaint, and I only point it out because I used to be the type of person to damage personal electronics this way 😅)
Thanks from an electronics technologist student from Canada! Wonderful work, and you've earned my sub! 😊
Are you documenting anything?
