| + | [* black] Using a heat gun or the ifixit iOpener tool, heat the top of the watch. I used a heat gun on low heat from 8-12 inches away moving it slightly back and forth over the watch for about 60 seconds so that the watch face is hot to the touch. |
| + | [* black] There is no need to heat the watch more than 60 seconds on low heat! Also, just as a precaution, do not heat the watch around combustible materials. |
| + | [* black] Based on the excellent series 3 screen repair video by Joe's Gaming and Electronics, I used a feeler gauge to slide slightly down and then slightly horizontal to get under the edge of the oled screen assembly. |

| + | [* black] Keep moving around the screen until you get from the bottom up to the digital crown on the opposite side from the starting side. At this point you should have 3/4 of the sides open except for the top. |
