Does anyone know where to buy the replacement screen for Active 2? Or what keywords should I search for (SKU or model)?
SM-R830 for the 40mm version, SM-R820 for the 44mm one. People on ebay resell them but they cost upwards of $100. I’d look into broken watches of the same type that maybe the battery is dead and they’re selling it for cheap, then do a swap job on the (hopefully) working screen.
Seconding the question on where to buy a replacement screen
You could be lucky on rounded.com
What adhesive would be best to use?
