Use this guide to replace the display adhesive in your Apple Watch and reseal it.
This is a general resealing guide based on an Apple Watch Series 6 44 mm. The resealing procedure for the Apple Watch Series 5 and newer models is more or less the same, despite slightly different inner workings.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach the display when reassembling the device.

Applying this adhesive is a mess. It sticks to everything, except the watch itself. I ruined one. I will use glue instead. Great that I ordered two for two separate watches.
Also the adhesive is not thick enough nor broad enough. Really disappointed. I trust my B7000 more!
Hey, thank you for this!
I have a question: how many layers of glue should there be on a Series 6 (44mm LTE) watch? Cause...I thought there should be only one... But I found 3! One stuck to the display, one stuck to the frame, and whatever was left that was keeping everything together. And when reapplying the glue (I only have one strip of glue), I removed and cleaned the other two, and now there's a small lip from the display to the case.
Was I supposed to leave those two alone....? Cause when trying to open up the watch, the one on the display couldn't even hold itself to the display, so that was useless anyway.
But now I'm curious. Was that supposed to be there? Or did I make a mistake removing them? Or...should I buy new adhesive strips to replace that?
For the reference, the adhesive strips I found inside were having a brown protective film.
So, there was a brown film glued to the display, another one glued to the frame, and some glue in between the two of them... Didn't see any of that in the photos above.
