Forming the New Gasket
  • We want to cover the sealing surface of the watch without getting any adhesive into the (3x) spring holes.

  • Tiny springs go in these holes and make an electrical connection between the watch case and bezel.

  • If you want to improve the waterproofing of the finished product, you can line the entire perimeter of the case with Sugru, but it could reduce the Bluetooth range. I haven't tested this myself but will the next time I repair another of these watches.

  • Lay out small strips of the rolled Sugru, until you've covered the perimeter of the bezel. Give the Sugru a light smush into the bezel to keep it in place.

  • I put a thicker coat of Sugru than necessary on this watch, but we will address that later. You should roll the Sugru out a little thinner than I did.
