Attempt 3: Remove the combined screen and bezel via cutting

While this method is more likely to work, it is also more likely to damage the screen.
Slip a knife between the bezel brim and the rest of the watch body. When you reach the wall of the plastic ring which hangs down from the bezel, don't stop. Instead, saw your way through this wall and make a slot large enough for a pry tool.
The FFC for the screen is particularly vulnerable if you choose to make a slot near the 6 o'clock position (under the "GARMIN" logo) due to its attachment point to the screen just behind the bezel ring.
Place your prying tool as far as it will go into the new slot and push the screen up until the glue releases.
