I’ve got a couple of stripped screws on my Apple Watch (original series) that I am trying to replace. The iFixit website sells a set of these screws (IF308-017-1) but they are out of stock and have been for at least a month. If I could get the description of each screw I could purchase each individual screw that I need. Example screw description = M1x2 mm.
Is this a good question?

The iFixit screw set was assembled by someone taking the time to strip down a watch for its parts. Sadly, the demand for the screws for this series of watches is just not there. The best you can do is locate a junker to do the same stripping it down to get the needed screws to fix yours.
I don’t know of anyone still fixing this series, so getting a listing of the screws sizes even from Apple is not likely to happen and most are custom screws not something you can locate from other sources.

Thanks Dan. I was afraid that’s the answer I would get. For now I’ll keep taking it apart (if I can ever get those stripped screws out). I have an Apple Watch 6, so when the battery went bad on my old one I decided to repair it. It’s mostly a learning project, so it won’t be the end of the world if I don’t fix it. But I sure hope someday I do fix it. Lots of good learnings so far with this project.
