| If Force Touch function works correctly and you just need fresh adhesive to re-seal your display, follow the ADHESIVE GUIDE instead. |
| In order to replace the force touch gasket we recommend to remove the display first. However if you’re feeling confident, it’s possible to remove the force touch gasket without removing the screen. |
|
| Make sure to update your Apple Watch to '''watchOS 5''' or later (and the paired iPhone to '''iOS 12''' or later) to avoid pairing issues after a display replacement. |
|
| Replacing the display can cause issues with '''Apple Pay'''. If possible, to reduce the likelihood of problems, delete all your Apple Pay account info before the replacement, and then re-enter it with the new display installed. |
|
| This guide shows the procedure on the standard, GPS-only version of the watch, but the cellular/LTE version is similar. |
