Introduction
This guide uses the iOpener and black spudger to remove the broken screen from the device, allowing for replacement. Screen replacement will compromise waterproof integrity.
What you need
-
-
Insert a spudger between the display and watch body.
-
Pry upwards and work the spudger around the perimeter of the display to free it from the body.
Where can you purchase a new screen? A lot of people are having this issue.
Could you find one yet?

Hello,
thanks for this. Where can i buy the new screen?
Nice guide! Thanks. But I can’t find any parts to repair my watch
What type of glue i use to connect the display an the body?
I’ve only found a couple sources for the adhesive.
This one is the best way to glue display and body staying flexible and resistant to water and over a wide temperature range.:

Hi, how to change battery???
Display can be bought there :
If only the touch part is broken, you can change only this one. you have to heat the whole and insert a solid wire between the LCD screen and the touch part to separate them. then clean the LCD screen and use a UV glue to glue the new touch screen. it costs half as much as buying the whole thing.

Hello, is the watch still water resistant, after changing the display?
pre-owned screen from ebay, (new/never used) for £5uk.
The first instruction about entering via the top left corner is nigh on impossible unless you’re willing to damage the plastic surround which is in effect a raised bezel to protect the glass.
Since the reason for swap was a slightly cracked screen, I broke through the corner of the glass and unpeeled the shards of screen from the inner frame using heat and a scalpel to remove the adhesive. I burned through 10 minutes a few times doing this, but once the frame was clear, the replacement process was an absolute breeze.
No gasket/seal was available, so I used 1mm double-sided and followed the frame as a guide, it’s overlapped, but I’d be wary of suggesting it’s still waterproof.
Thanks for the guide, it was super helpful, and without it, I would never have attempted the repair!
