How to Reseal an Apple Watch

简介

Use this guide to replace the display adhesive in your Apple Watch and reseal it.

This is a general resealing guide based on an Apple Watch Series 6 44 mm. The resealing procedure for the Apple Watch Series 5 and newer models is more or less the same, despite slightly different inner workings.

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach the display when reassembling the device.
