Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 3 days agoGo look at how watches are actually disassembled.
You basically need something to twist it off (magnet, friction, a dedicated tool, or honestly just two properly sized prybars) and then you are set.
This is just yet another case of a tech company “disrupting” because they can’t be bothered to look at what the actual state of the art is and realize there is no point.
That, or the watchmakers of old didn’t have to worry about wiring actuators, speakers, and heart rate monitors on the back plate. Or is that against nature and shouldn’t be done in the first place anyway?
For what it’s worth, my F91W has Philips screws on the back plate exactly like this and I never had a problem, and I’ve taken it apart more than a few times (it’s a Sensor Watch!)

I understand, and don't have any of those tools to hand.
It sounds like this is not a watch for you.

They just like complaining
