CTOnews.com, September 24 (Xinhua) Apple's high-end sports smartwatch Apple Watch Ultra, which has been disassembled by 9to5mac editors, arrived yesterday, but he advises ordinary users not to do so because it is very difficult to restore it.

CTOnews.com learned that, unlike the previous Apple Watch, there are four exposed screws at the bottom of the Apple Watch Ultra. These are four P5 round hole screws, the same as the screws at the bottom of the MacBook. After removing these four screws, the first problem arises, with a very small O-ring around each screw. There is no doubt that it is used for waterproofing. However, when the editor tried to screw back the four screws, he found that in order to tighten them, the O-ring would slip out of its proper position, which would seriously affect the waterproof performance of the watch.

The editor knew that some of the waterproof properties of the watch might be affected at this time, but chose to continue to disassemble it. After unscrewing these screws, only a crowbar and a thin gasket can be used to separate the ceramic back of the watch from the titanium shell. Its sealing is very good, when it is opened, a thin waterproof layer is destroyed. In addition, there are two thin ribbon cables that connect the back of the watch and all its health sensors to the battery, screen, processor and watch body. Care must be taken when separating the two so as not to damage the cable.

Prying open the backplane doesn't reveal much of the internal structure. There was a large black assembly with the Apple logo, but two buttons for removing the Apple Watch strap fell out, and three of the four springs fell on the carpet.

With the removal of the back of the watch, the watch did not report an error immediately, but it could no longer connect with the mobile phone. There are also three screws, this time three-wing screws, and a small metal plate fixed the black component. After removing these screws, it seems that there are several ribbon cables connected to the other side of it, while from the back of the watch, there seems to be no good way to disconnect them. It may be necessary to soften the adhesive to remove the display screen, and then use a hole opener to separate it. This is also a way to get access to internal parts on previous Apple watches, but the screen seams on the Ultra don't seem to have a good way to open it. The Apple Watch Ultra display is made of sapphire, which is more scratch-resistant but more likely to crack, which may be part of the reason Apple extends the watch's metal fuselage to the flat sides of the display.

At this point the editor wanted to put everything back in as much as possible, but found it difficult to reinstall the two ribbon cables connected to the bottom of the device. The button used to remove the strap is now missing the above missing spring, and the watch will sound as it vibrates. Moreover, the small rubber O-ring around the screw is a little prominent. As the O-ring is not in place and the adhesive seal is broken, the waterproof performance of the watch has been seriously reduced and must not be worn to go scuba diving.

Therefore, the editor advises ordinary users not to disassemble their Apple Watch Ultra watches out of curiosity, as it may also lead to a serious decline in their waterproof performance.
