Note: Some time has passed since this incident.

This problem seems to be frequent.

I bought a kit from amazon which was nearly impossible to install correctly (little adhesive and a new cover). I was running and was a little sweaty and the new one fell off again...

Someone said to get 3M VHB tape, but I would love your opinion on the matter...

Maybe superglue to that little trench?

I would still like the HR monitor to work , but as long as I am ensured that no water damage can happen and the back won't fall off again... I'll do it.

anyhow the watch still functions with or without the back but obviously dirt and stuff can get into the sensors

In autumn 2022 I noticed that the display suddenly started sliding to the side when I pressed hard enough. In late 2022 it completely came off and I had it repaired in one of those official unofficial service centers (apparently licensed by Samsung but they do their own repairs), which was almost 100€ (got lucky and there was a promotion). They replaced the full top part and told me that the watch was now basically like a new one. They also give you 6 additional months of warranty, which ended about 3 weeks ago.

I sometimes shower with the watch on when it's really dirty (maybe once a week, have been doing that since I got it) and I did so too on Sunday. As usual, I used the special "water mode", then had it expel the water twice. Afterwards I put it on a table and when I came back later, it was stuck in some weird reboot loop: Showing "Samsung... rebooting" for a couple of seconds, then a black screen for a couple of seconds - and repeat.

I managed to get it to start back up by pressing the on/off button for 30 seconds but since then the touchscreen has been acting up: Sometimes it doesn't react at all, then it's swiping left on its own or registering a continuous touch, even though I only swiped once.

I called the service center but they said that I'm going to have to pay for the repair again and the promotion has ended in the meantime, so no idea how much it will be.

Question 1: Is it okay to charge the watch if everything else (sleep tracking,...) is still working fine (it's just the touchscreen that's kind of messed up, I think)?

Question 2: Is there anything I can do to fix the watch? I'm able to use a screwdriver but I don't know much about electronics.

Watch has been stuck in a bootloop for about an hour. I want to disassemble the watch and remove the battery so I can safely clean the insides with isopropyl alcohol.

Watch won't turn off. I am concerned about damaging the watch if I try disassembling the watch while it is on. How should I go about disassembly? Will the battery be damaged if I just let it bootloop until it runs out of charge?

Occasionally, the watch is able to boot up properly for a few seconds before going into a bootloop again. If I try to power off when it's able to boot up properly, sometimes it stays powered off for maybe 30 seconds, other times it starts bootlooping again immediately after I press power off.

Watch is out of warranty
