      • This step will ruin the water-proof seal.

      • Wedge the metal spudger in between the back cover and the frame along the seam.

      • Use force to pry the back cover away from the main watch frame.

      • This step requires a lot of force. You can use a Jimmy in place of a metal spudger to make the process easier.
