Alphabet in bid to buy Fitbit

I'm still using the original pebble. Unfortunately, i'm getting hit by the screen tearing problem and it is so old that i can't even open it to fix the problem.

I don't want a watch that i have to charge daily, or i'll take it off and end up never putting it back on. I've been thinking of buying up some refurbished old pebbles as they have the exact features I want without the downsides of ALL of the newer watches/fitbands.

In what way can you not open it? Are the torx screws stripped? I did the "display shim" fix a couple times and it worked very well, but indeed it does rely on opening the case and putting it back together...

The display shim fix worked for me too! But the watch only costs $20 on eBay anyway, so next time I'll probably just buy another one.

I don't have any torx screws. I think the whole thing is glued together.
