I watched this video like 25 times trying to replace a battery in mine. You make it seem so easy but omg it was not. Thank you

The screen does NOT come off that easy!

Did you tear the gasket while trying to remove the display?

Interesting. I removed the battery without disconnecting the display, seems like an unnecessary step to me. It IS kinda fiddly to do that with the display connected, but disconnecting the display seems harder to me, so i try to avoid that.

in every video they using pre-opened watches, its pretty hard to open, not so easy as you shows

[timleckenby]

You didn't show how to put the new battery in...
Who wants to take one out and not know how to put the new one in?

Does the ifixit kit come with new screen adhesive?

One major problem with these instructions. It's not explicit that if you DON'T mess up the gasket that you don't have to tear it down that deep. So if you're following this linearly you end up pulling it apart more than necessary before realizing you only needed to do that if you screwed up you gasket. Major potential to damage the watch unnecessarily following these instructions.

Waiting for next serie video:"My Fist Smartphone".

I cut myself using a curved blade. I ended up using an ultra-thin flexible metal pry spudger instead. Coated the tip with isopropyl alcohol and did not manage to break the gasket.

[zacharyrawe]

But.. You didn't remove the battery. :o

I refuse to listen to any instruction video that drowns out the instructor’s voice, with stupid not needed background music.
