Nike+ SportWatch GPS Back Panel Replacement Guide

Duration: 45 minutes

Steps: 5 Steps

Sometimes the back panel of your watch decides it’s had enough and starts peeling or even cracks. No worries! This guide is here to walk you through the steps to remove it and get your watch prepped for a fresh replacement. Let’s get started!

Step 1

Nike SportWatch GPS Back Panel Replacement

– Flip the watch upside down, revealing its back. Grab your #000 Phillips head screwdriver and get ready to tackle those six 5 mm long screws on the back. Unscrew them carefully and you’re one step closer to unlocking the watch!

Step 2

– Gently ease the watch apart by pulling the band away from the main board.

Step 3

Handle those delicate metal flat bands above the plastic piece with care! They’re a bit on the fragile side and can break easily, so give them some love while you work.

– Gently pop out the black plastic piece above the battery using a nylon or metal spudger—you’re just giving it a little nudge to set it free!

Step 4

– With your guitar pick removal tool, slip it under the battery and gently pry it out of the watch.

Step 5

– Once you pop the battery out, you’ll be left with just the band and the back panel of the watch—almost like its minimalist makeover has begun!

Success!
