    • Insert an opening tool into the seam between the back cover and the metal housing.

    • Twist the opening tool to loosen the gasket and create a gap.

    • Don't try to remove the back cover all the way yet. The sensor flex cable is still connected to the motherboard.

    • Lay the watch screen-side down.

    • Carefully swing open the back cover at the gap you just created.

    • Use a spudger to disconnect the sensor flex cable from the motherboard by prying the press connector straight up from its socket.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to turn on your device and test your repair before resealing it.

    • Remove the back cover.

    • During reassembly:

    • Make sure the rubber gasket (marked in red) is undamaged. If damaged, replace it with a new one to maintain water resistance.

    I could not open my watch with Y000 screwdriver. Instead I used Y1.5 (Y00).
