Where can I buy the screen for the 2-nd generation Moto360 watch ?

Bernard McGrath - Apr 7, 2018

Its far easier to remove watch from body by unscrewing the crown, remove the bottom ring then heat the bezel a little so that you can turn the bezel about 10mm counter clockwise with a razor blade edge, then push the whole body of the watch through the metal casing and it should come out easily through the top of the watch in one piece making it easier to access the pcb without damaging anything

This guide here should be either revised or taken down.

It leads to broken watch if you tried to follow. I was lucky to step out from step 5 and followed the other guide instead…

That last step will destroy the screen btw. Sticking a knife down the side to pry it out will just rip the backlight off the lcd. You put even pressure on the glass on the front to pop it out of the back, might take a while as it’s stuck in. warming it will help.
