Zgxhga Compatible with Apple Watch Series 5 44mm Screen Replacement - Front LCD Glass Lens Replacement Repair Kit & Watch Glass Repair(No LCD Screen and Touch Digitizer)

Useless.. Don't buy

First of all, the instructions that come with this kit are horrible. Second, the video shows an adhesive used to seal the watch after the repair, but it is not included in the kit. Instead, they include a double sided sticky pad that would never provide the same water tight seal. Not to worry, though, because the repair is never going to get to that stage. Third, there are numerous items in this kit that have nothing to do with this repair. There's no indication in the instructions what they are even meant to do (e.g., the plastic handles with screws at the end). As for the repair itself, I watched numerous youtube videos to see how this repair is done. I did manage to open the watch, remove the protective stickers and unlatch the ribbon cables. Going extremely carefully and slowly, I managed to get about half way through the process of using the wire to separate the glass when the wire accidentally cut into the display. There's a reason every repair video shows the person using a vacuum block to hold the display in place while using the wire to separate the glass. Doing it by hand is nearly impossible. The suction cup that comes with the kit is a joke. Using double sided tape to hold it down is how I managed to get half way through it, but even then with the curved edge of the glass on both sides, it's extremely difficult to keep the wire at the right level to avoid cutting into the display. Even with the right tools, this is a really tough repair. This kit, though, is a complete joke. Don't waste your money.

When it comes to repairing things, I generally prefer an expert, but in the case of my cracked faced Apple Watch, I thought, why not? What do I have to lose? It was going to be over $200 to have the manufacturer repair it or spend less than $30 and do it myself. Needless to say, this decision still burns me up!In the process of removing the screen, SUCCESS!! It was at this point however that things went from looking promising to hell in a handbasket. In the span of a few seconds, I watched as the watch screen started to flicker on and off, an electrical spark...then a flame just larger than a candle lit erupted, causing me to drop the watch as I stood stunned to see the repair box light up in flames right there on my table. It was like something out of a cartoon or B-rated scary movie. You could have called it, "Come On Baby WATCH My Fire!"Next thing I knew, I had grabbed a cup of water, dropped the watch inside and ran the flaming box to the fire pit wearing oven mitts. Smokey the Bear would have been so disappointed in me...

This product is meant to be used by a professional who knows what they’re doing and has more tools than provided in the kit to successfully remove the glass from the display without ruining it. Apple and Best Buy don’t even repair a shattered glass on the Apple Watch and will sell you a new or refurbished one. Save your money buy a new watch. If your lucky enough to successfully do it yourself with this kit Kudos. I was not so lucky but gave it a try.

Purchased this kit to replace the screen on my Apple Watch, instructions are vague and the print is so tiny you need a magnifying glass to read. Unfortunately now my watch is ruined beyond repair.

Instructions are so vague. extra tools and parts that are not necessary and if they are the instructions do not include them. Open screen ripe thin wire off battery now have to wait two more days to see if screen works. Crossing finger that I can figure out how to install battery. Placed my order for a new watch. So disappointment.
