I bought my smartwatch in May 2020. In August 2020 the sensor cover came off. I was able to send it off and have it repaired at no charge.  Today, a month after the warranty expired, I was wiping off the underside of the watch with a damp paper towel before I put it on the charger, and the cover came off. AGAIN. 

I don't mind paying for repair service but the cost estimator says it's going to be $81.  To glue the sensor cover back on. AGAIN. That's about a third of what I paid for the thing.

I don't think so. What a ripoff. I'm irritated and disappointed at what a piece of junk - and what a hassle to deal with - this watch has turned out to be.

Did you clean off the goop before adding the krazy glue?

Yes I did and I only place 3 tiny dots unfortunately it lasted about a month and a 1/2 and when I took off my wife's I realize I lost the sensor  Cover this time so I'm not able to do it again and I did wipe off the goo ... It's a shame that we have to go through this I have now went back to my Galaxy S3 classic which I suggest to anyone who has the sensor cover issue unfortunately it's not solely so you need to use  Thru  Bluetooth

Hello @userC2wadgKgcd,

 

Did you ever get an answer to this or try it out? My back sensor screen fell off and see the sticky stuff. I don't mind gluing just want to do it correctly so I don't mess up my watch.

 

Thank you for your time.

I have the  same issue. I hesitated fixing it myself with glue. But if it worked for you I may try it.  It doesn't sound like its very well made.

Same thing happened to me.  I had to send it in to have it repaired.  They are supposed to be water proof but I don't think they are.
