Introduction

In this guide you will replace the front panel of the watch. It will involve taking it apart the watch to its entirety and using a heating device to easily remove the screen.

  1. MNfNQYNKvPBeDU1u

    • Face the watch upside down so that the back of the watch is exposed. Unscrew the six size #000 5 mm long screws on the back using a size 000 Phillips head screwdriver.

  2. sqWLEjDMDIYWBiF2

    • Carefully separate the watch by pulling the band away from the main board.

  3. Ye2lZYH33tyyu12e

    • Two size #000 2.5 mm long screws will appear at the top of the main board. Unscrew them using a size 000 Phillips head screwdriver.

  4. Jjs5VkHlgeXkOBHP

    • Carefully use the blue plastic opening tool to pry the main board out of the front panel.

    • Make sure to be gentle so the ribbon cable that connects to the band does not break, it is fragile and not removable.

  5. u5MEBDwDomKHEIIx

    • Use an iOpener that has been heated in the microwave for about a minute, or until warm. Place it on the front screen of the watch. Let it rest there for a minute.
