Display keeps opening up
The display on my Samsung Galaxy watch won’t stay down. Is there a way to glue it?
Is this a good question?

Hi Robert,
when I did the guides for the Galaxy Watch Active I could not get the display off of the frame. It seems to be glued down solid in my case.
If your display is coming off you probably need to disassemble it (see this guide here) and then apply new adhesive. Easiest would be using a replacement adhesive (unfortunately we don’t have that in our store yet, so just google for it).
(It also might be feasible with this glue, but be careful when applying it so nothing spills on components on the inside.)
Make sure to clean the glued areas before applying new adhesive (use isopropyl alcohol >90% and a spudger and maybe a lint free cloth).
Good luck with the repair, keep it up

Hi @ltbob9, can you update your post to share which Galaxy Watch you have?

When you say the display is not staying down, do you mean the back plate is popping off? Is it screwed on properly?
It would be really helpful with trying to troubleshoot your issue if you could share a photo of where the watch is coming apart.

After a short flight my front screen has lifted up and my watch is not displaying.
I can see a small amount of glue but it no longer appears to want to hold the glass plate in place. I have not put my watch into any water or extreme heat. It is immaculate in condition.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Active Watch that is just over 2 years old.

You'll need to open it, clean out all the adhesive, and replace with an adhesive that fits that particular shape and size.
