Will this repair in your video fix touchscreen problems with the watch or is it a problem with another part of the watch? Thanks for the awesome video!

[@Joesge]

Yes it should fix any touch issues you have.

[@orcprincess1]

My screen was lifting off, but the watch was still working. I bought the adhesive tape from Joe's to adhere the screen back onto the phone that was suggested in the video. Worked fine for the day, but the next day it popped off and since I didn't realize it was coming off again the screen hit against something and now it's fully broken. This was a great tutorial, but I suggest a different adhesive, or go someplace to fix it.

[@husnulkhotimah37]

same case with mine. My screen was lifting off but the watch was still working. Im here to find out where I can buy the circle adhesive. But then I read your comment here and I just rethink about which seller do I need to buy from... 🤔

Hi Thank you very much for the great guide I need a replacement screen for my watch activ 1 and I cannot find it anywhere, from your experience can you suggest anywhere I can find one as I visited your store and this replacement was unavailable? I can imagine that this would be due to the age of the unit. Your advise will be greatly appreciated. I would like to get it as close to South Africa as possible. I need to fix this watch as it was my error that this piece got damaged in the first place. Thank you very much for this and I have liked and subscribed to your channel

Hey There! Recently I unpaired my galaxy active 2 with my phone, now the thing is TOUCH is not working, ribbon cable got damaged, now to connect it to phone, i need to press pair button on the watch, so instead ,can i use the display of other samsung active watches(is the display connector universal for active watches), for just pairing purpose, and then I can use the watch with the app. If you have another trick, would love to hear that!

As long as the glue is applied correctly it will create a water resistant seal. Overtime the glue will erode.
