screens are not interchangable.

is the face id hardware programmed to the phone like the touch ID was? that would make replacing it impossible by 3rd parties.

i know its not connected to the screen, but still it may be a common repair like it is now.

looks like the “Screen antenna” is really on the force touch sensor? (step 8)

that would make sense, it goes all around the border of the screen.

is the rear housing the same as the series 2 as well?

during the announcement, they claimed the watch was made a little thicker.

WARNING - they just ruined the watch in this step. They ripped off the flex coming from the battery. you can see it in step 16 pic 1. this is non-replaceable. Apparently, ifixit didnt put this watch back together again. i figured this out using this guide to change the housing on my watch, which is now ruined.
