    • Place your thumbs on the ends of the screen.

    • Push the watch outward while pulling the band away from the watch.

    • Heating the device with a hair dryer may warp the screen or damage the device. It it preferable to use an iOpener for this step.

    • For step-by-step instructions on using an iOpener, see the iOpener Instructions.

    • Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or an iOpener to heat the Gear Fit for 1-2 minutes until it is hot to the touch.

    • The screen is connected to the device by a ribbon cable on the left side with the power button facing you. Do not try to completely separate the screen from the device yet, and be careful.

    • Gently pry the screen loose using a plastic opening tool.

    • If the screen doesn't easily come loose, more heating may be required

    • Using tweezers as a lever, pry the inner assembly out of the external casing.

    • This will be harder than removing the screen. Moderate force may be required.

    • Gently peel the screen assembly up and away from the device using tweezers.

    gear fit 2 screen assembly is very expensive at the moment at 135 USD + 10USD shipping… looks like you are buying a whole new unit, ridiculous… i am planning to buy a new GF2 and have my defective GF2 to be source of spare parts in the future ( battery, hear rate sensor, circuit board, etc..) or maybe wait some time till prices go down.

No, the Gear Fit 2 is disassembled via 4 screws on the back of the device under small four rubber caps. I learned the hard way

Hello,

Your best bet is Ebay. I found one for around $35.00, but there are preowened gear fit 2 for cheaper than that. I guess it would for sure be your call if you would like to fit it or not.

Lavella Coffey -

I think my Gear Fits screen wasnt working cuz upon opening it, I noticed large amounts of cocaine residue.

Josh Grosskreutz -

You guys can get the screen from joesge.com. Also, there are screws hidden on the bottom. This is an alternate way of opening it, but will require a Philips Head Screwdriver.
