Teardown Video

[llcamino]

Does anyone know if there has been a teardown/disassemble video made of this watch? I haven't found one yet. I'd love to see what it takes to change the battery. Maybe to set my mind at ease about charge management. I'd also like to see how the antenna is incorporated into the band. That would give us an idea if 3rd parties would be able to make replacement band.

Hi

I searched a few search engines....don't see it yet.

Anyone willing to tear theirs apart so I can see a video of the internal workings? Didn't think so. I guess in due time there will be one.

I volunteer you as tribute. hahaha.

I realized that was coming as soon as I asked if a video existed. I'll wait patiently for someone else to trash theirs.....sadly you know it's coming someday soon.

Googled ZNFW200A and found some internal photos.... https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...n_id=NXP5lGwSWj8HVUD4DgU1pw==&fcc_id=ZNFW200A

The direct link to the 'internal photos' attachment doesn't work for me, but if you select 'internal photos' from the site I posted previously it downloads the file. At least it did for me.

Thanks for that link. Looks like the problem with changing the battery would be that rubber gasket. Maybe aftermarket battery suppliers would include it.
There's a piece of metal where the band would attach. I can't tell if that little metal tab was broken off or it its just a metal tab. That would go a long way in determining if 3rd party bands would eventually be available.

i read in another thread from someones whose broke that the band attaches to just the metal tab. it doesnt go all the way through

With antenna built into the band, I highly doubt there will be 3rd party bands.

 

[llcamino]

If I'm reading this correctly, that would mean that 3rd parties could replicate the antenna and replacement bands could become "plug and play" right?

hypothetically i see that as being possible but considering nobody has even made a 3rd party charger i can't imagine anyone investing the time and money on developing watchbands for this with such a small user base.
