Step 1
If you’re using a sharp blade, make sure it doesn’t slip. If necessary, wear appropriate gloves.
– First you have to heat your Apple Watch’s display using a heat gun.
– The gap between the aluminum frame and the display is very small. We recommend that you use a very flat, sturdy object to get between them.If you’re using a sharp blade, make sure it doesn’t slip. If necessary, wear appropriate gloves.
– Carefully lift the display using a suction cup.
– As soon as a little gap opens up, use the plastic pick to avoid damaging the aluminum.
Step 2
– You should only insert the pick about two or three millimeters between the display and the frame to prevent damage inside the enclosure.
– The display is glued to the entire outer edge of the Apple Watch. Move the pick once around the entire device.
– The NFC antenna also acts as a seal and is glued to the aluminum enclosure. Make sure you don’t lift it with the display and that it stays on the aluminum frame.
Step 6
– Check all the functions of your Apple Watch before you attach the display again.
– Now check whether the seal’s glue is still sticky enough.
– If everything’s okay, you can put the display back on. Heat it slightly and press it into the enclosure for a few minutes.
– Now you can use your Apple Watch as usual. Have fun!
