– First things first, take that watch off the charger and give it a little break by powering it down. It’s time for some quality downtime!

– Next up, let’s get that watch band off. It’s like giving your watch a little spa day!

Step 2

Step 3

– Pop that opening tool into the seam between the back cover and the metal frame.

– Give it a twist to break the seal and open a gap.

– Flip the watch over so it’s lounging screen-side down.

– Gently swing open the back cover using the gap you just made—it’s like opening a tiny treasure chest!

– Grab your trusty spudger and carefully pop the sensor flex cable off the motherboard by lifting the press connector straight up from its cozy little socket.

– When putting it all back together, take a moment to power up your device and make sure everything’s working perfectly before sealing it up again. If things get tricky, you can always schedule a repair.
