Introduction

Has the buckle on the strap of your watch become broken, or do you just want to replace the factory strap with a custom one? Just swap it out.

Tools

Step 1

Flip the watch over so that the face is down.
Using a Y#0 screwdriver, unscrew the four 3.5 millimeter tri-head screws.
Remember to turn off the watch to avoid being shocked.

The warning to turn off the watch to avoid electrical shock was a joke, right?!

The screws don't seem to be turning easily. What's the best way to loosen them without stripping them?

I’m going to be shocked by a dead 3.8V battery? Of course, only if the watch is powered on. Ridiculous statements like this do not reflect positively on the credibility of this entire procedure. If the author seriously thinks this is a danger then I question your basic understanding of electronics.

… to avoid being shocked when you lose your data! :)

Step 2

Using your finger, push forward on the release while pulling up on the strap.
You may find it helpful to use the flat end of a spudger to push on the release instead of your finger.
