What you need
Video Overview
- Opening the Watch is difficult, but possible with heat and suction.
- Display and battery replacements are relatively straightforward once the Watch is open.
- Tiny tri-point screws throughout the Watch can be tricky to remove and keep track of.
- Several important flex cables are mounted directly to the S7 package, requiring skilled microsoldering to replace if they are torn.

I wear a prosthetic arm and desperately wish I could put the sensor array in a liner and have the rest of the watch built into my socket.
