    • Power off your watch before disassembling it.

    • Place the watch upside down on a hard surface so that its back case is facing upright.

    • Use a T4 Torx Star screwdriver to remove the four 4.0 mm Torx screws from the corners of the back case.

    So i bought a torx t5…but it is tooo big. It must br torx t4

    I think I have damaged one of the screw heads while trying to unscrew the back of the watch.

    I used the Torx T4… but the screw was covered in quite a bit of rust. Now the Torx T4 can’t get a grip.

    What should I do? (Can anything be done?)

    Yea take a tiny file or a tiny Dremel attachment and carve a flat head groove in the head just enough so where you can use a flat head to get it

    • With a plastic opening tool, disconnect the four connectors on the top of the motherboard.

    Where do I buy the parts? I already have your tools.

    • Remove three 3.0 mm Phillips screws on the edges of the motherboard with a Phillips #000 screwdriver.

    Add colored markup to indicate location of the 3 screws.

    Patty Remmell -

    I felt like my #00 driver fit slightly better for these screws, but it probably depends on which toolkit or bit set you have.

    • Grasp the edges of the motherboard and slide it slightly towards the right to remove it from its case.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the battery out of the device.

    • You may need to use a stronger prying force due to the adhesive that secures the battery to the case.

    Thanks this was very helpful.
