Apart from the glue, the rear case comes away nice and clean—no cables, no booby traps. We like it.

Power from the charger feeds through the rear case onto a tidy row of spring contacts beside the motherboard.

Speaking of the motherboard, it's time to start digging out the Urbane's silicon. Starting with the battery, we flick away a few cable connectors and twist out the tiny watch-sized screws.

Happily, these are totally ordinary (albeit tiny) Phillips screws—none of that sketchy tri-wing business you find in so many flashy smartwatches these days.
