Introdução

This guide shows how to detach the screen from your Google Pixel Watch 2 in order to do repairs.

    • Before starting this repair, remove your watch from the charger and let its battery drain completely—the watch should shut down from low battery. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Letting the battery drain completely also prevents accidentally turning your watch back on when gripping it during repair.

    • Remove both watch bands by pressing the release button and sliding the band out of its groove.

    • Inserting a tool between the screen and frame is very difficult. Using a vise to secure the frame makes it significantly easier.

    • Secure your watch with a small vise so the jaws go into the watch band grooves on the frame.

    • If your vice has sharp or metal jaws, consider wrapping the frame in a thin cloth to prevent scratching or damaging the frame.

    • The gap between the screen and frame is extremely small. You'll need a thin tool such as an iFlex to create an initial gap.

    • Don't grip the iFlex or similar metal tools by the edges—they're very sharp. Wear gloves to protect yourself.

    • Very strong adhesive secures the screen to the frame. Heating the screen softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

    • Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the right edge of screen around the watch crown until it's slightly too hot to touch.

    • Be careful not to heat the screen more than this, as it may damage the screen and/or battery.

    • Insert the tip of an iFlex between the screen and frame just below the watch crown (opposite the side button).

    • This is very difficult and will take multiple attempts. If the screen cools down, apply more heat and try again.

    • Rotate the iFlex so its longer edge is between the screen and frame.

    • Hold the iFlex at a slight upward angle and slide it clockwise around the perimeter of the watch to separate the adhesive. Stop when you reach the side button.

    • Don't slide farther than this or you'll damage the screen cable.

    • Remove your watch from the vise.

    • Throughout the rest of your repair:

    • Consider placing your watch on something soft like a clean cloth to help stabilize it and prevent damage.

    • Attach and remove the watch bands as needed to get a better grip or stabilize your watch.

    • Be careful not to strain the screen cable during the rest of your repair.

    • Swing open the screen and put it in an upright position next to the watch crown.

    • If the screen feels stuck, go back around the perimeter and carefully separate any remaining adhesive with the iFlex. Be very careful not to damage the screen cable near the crown.

    • During reassembly:

    • This is a good point to plug in and test your watch before sealing it up. Be sure to power it down completely before you continue working.

    • Use a spudger and tweezers to remove all the old screen adhesive from the frame and screen. Then, clean up any adhesive residue with high‑concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab.

    • You'll need to seal your phone with strong adhesive glue. Apply the glue to the perimeter of the frame and firmly press the screen into place.

    • Most strong adhesive glues have a long curing time—read the instructions for proper use.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
