Hello, I have a AW series 2, replaced the cracked screen and the force touch sensor since it ripped when replacing screen. The force touch sensor comes with “adhesive” but doesn’t appear to be very strong. After putting everything back together within a few hours the screen already starts separating. I tried putting pressure on the watch with a heated pad but I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. Would it be advisable to use 3M tape on the top and bottom of the force touch sensor or would that cause too much clearance. ?
Just so you’re aware, because you replaced the force touch sensor, it won’t pair with a new phone. Like the home button with TouchID, that sensor is tied to that specific board. As far as the screen adhering, adding more adhesive could cause a clearance issue. I would try replacing it again, but use some heat and some clamps to heat it up after you install the display then clamp it down and let it sit until it cools completely.
