    • Begin by laying the watch on a flat, smooth surface.

    • This will prevent the watch screen from suffering damage.

    • Obtain a Flex Extension with a Size 1.0 mm flat-head. In the case of not having said tool, for this model of watch one can use the hands to replace the strap.

    • Locate the two springs on the back of your watch.

    • The watch comes with two of these springs on each side of the back-face. These are used to release the straps from the body of the watch.

    • Locate the 4 T3 screws in the back of your watch, and use the T3 Torx Screwdriver to unscrew them.

    I have a Huawei Watch W1 Active and the screws are smaller than the T3 Torx ones. Is the hardware of the Huawei Watches W1 different depending on the model? I’m trying to use a T3 Torx Wiha Precision ESD 278 and it is bigger than the watch holes.

    I bought a kit on ebay and followed these instructions. They were clear and SUPER helpful. THANK YOU!!! I’m so grateful I’m able to extend the life of my watch for a fraction of the cost of a new one especially since this model is discontinued.
