Hi everyone, welcome to HowFixit.
In this video guide, I'll show you how to replace the screen on Apple Watch Series 2
To disassemble Apple Watch 2, you'll need the following tools:
Screwdriver set with tri-wing 0.8mm screwdriver Tweezers
Plastic tools Adhesive Sticker
Glue - I will use B7000 glue due to its high elasticity, anti-vibration, and water resistance
properties.
Screen Disassembly Tool - This tool has a very thin curved metal blade for opening electronic
devices with a screen that is difficult to pry with a common plastic tool.
I think this is a must-have tool for disassembling an Apple Watch all series because the gap
between the screen and the watch body is so thin.
I left links where to buy all the necessary tools in the description.
Before you start, turn off the Apple Watch 2.
If your touchscreen is broken and you can't turn off the watch, press and hold both the
side button and digital crown simultaneously.
Continue holding while the Apple Watch reboots.
When you see the Apple logo, release the digital crown and continue holding the side button
until the Apple logo disappears.
Removing the cracked screen, don't forget to wear eye protection.
Insert the edge of the curved blade into the thin gap between the display and the watch
case.
From this position, gradually begin to separate the display.
To avoid damaging internal components, try not to push the blade deep inside the watch.
For a more successful opening of the watch case, warm up the surface of the display with
a regular hair dryer.
Carefully fold the screen to the back.
Remove one screw and disconnect the battery cable.
Now, using tweezers, carefully peel off the black tape covering the three display ribbon
cables.
Use a plastic tool to
open the locking tabs on the display.
Carefully pull the display ribbon cables out of their connectors.

Now let's install the new screen and test it.
Before gluing the display to the main housing, test the watch and check all functions.
It looks like the watch is working fine, now you can proceed to the final part of the assembly.
Let's move on to gluing the display with the housing, this will restore protection from
water and dust.
You can use a special adhesive sticker for your Apple Watch 2 or silicone glue.
In my opinion, for protection against water and dust, glue is more effective.
To fix the display and the main housing, you can use clips or rubber bands.
The B7000 glue dries completely after 24 hours, but the minimum surface drying time is 6 minutes.
So, I recommend waiting at least 45 minutes, after which you can remove excess glue.
This repair is complete, you were on HowFixit, and see you next time!
