Use this guide to replace a broken, cracked, or defective display on your Apple Watch Series 4.
Make sure to update your Apple Watch to watchOS 5 or later (and the paired iPhone to iOS 12 or later) to avoid pairing issues after a display replacement.
Replacing the display can cause issues with Apple Pay. If possible, to reduce the likelihood of problems, delete all your Apple Pay account info before the replacement, and then re-enter it with the new display installed.
This guide shows the procedure on the standard, GPS-only version of the watch, but the cellular/LTE version is similar.

Because the gap between the screen and watch body is so thin, a sharp blade is needed to separate the two. Read the following warnings carefully before proceeding.

-
-
Prepare an iOpener (or use a hair dryer or heat gun) and heat the face of the watch to loosen the display adhesive.
-
Leave the iOpener on the watch for at least two minutes to fully heat the screen and soften the adhesive holding it to the case.

Place the edge of a curved blade into the thin gap between the display and the outer case. Start at the short side of the display, closest to the digital crown.

Press firmly straight down into the gap.

Once inserted, tilt the blade to pry the display open slightly.

Once you've opened a small gap with the curved blade, remove the blade and insert the thinner edge of an opening tool into the gap.
-
Push the opening tool into the gap, using your thumb as a pivot to lift the display open a bit farther.

It's likely that the Force Touch sensor will stick to the display frame instead to the watch's body. In this case, insert an opening pick under the display and carefully separate the Force Touch gasket from the display.

Slide the pick around the display to separate the adhesive between the Force Touch gasket and the display.

Can you tell me what the black adhesive tape with flex ends that covers the flex ribbons is used for and can it be replaced ?
That is for shielding and grounding purposes. If you get a spare you can of course replace it. But be careful not to damage the display cables.
Sheila, this you can purchase on Aliexpress. i tried to get it elsewhere, seems noone else stocks it. cost approx $10. i found it here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050019...
I have replaced an original screen from another apple watch and everything seems to have gone well. But when I try to pair with the iphone it doesn't succeed. Is it because I didn't put the NFC chip from the original apple watch? What can be?.
It is an apple watch series 4 44 mm + cellular.
Thank you very much.
