    Doesn’t a little solvent and some gentle brushing usually clear this issue up?

    The benefits for simple access through simple mechanisms, for me, is worth this bit of work.

    But everyone clearly has different requirements. 🤷‍♂️

      Go look at how watches are actually disassembled.

      You basically need something to twist it off (magnet, friction, a dedicated tool, or honestly just two properly sized prybars) and then you are set.

      This is just yet another case of a tech company “disrupting” because they can’t be bothered to look at what the actual state of the art is and realize there is no point.

        I understand, and don’t have any of those tools to hand.

        It sounds like this is not a watch for you.
