• Once you're inside, the motherboard is very easy to remove—three Phillips screws and a few connectors.
  
• With the motherboard out, the battery is very easy to replace; only mild adhesive holds it in.
  
• Features a standard 22 mm band secured with spring bars—replacement and style swaps are easy.
  
• Glued back requires heat and prying to open, and replacement adhesive to properly re-seal.
  
• Because the display is adhered to the back of the front glass, which is removed from the front, screen replacement is very difficult and will require re-adhering the display layers.
