Step 2

Using plastic opening tools, carefully pry open the back cover of the the watch.
Use the little hatch on the bottom portion of the watch in order to easily pry open the watch

Step 3

Using a PH000 screwdriver, remove the three screws in order to release the motherboard from the watch.
Do not lose the three screws! Keep them somewhere you will remember! A magnetic mat can help with this. Ifixit Magnetic Mat
Using plastic opening tools, remove the four connectors attached to the motherboard

Use color markup to note where the pins are.

Great job of suggesting the magnetic mat!
