The back of the watch IS the screw. Each indentation along the circumference of the back is a notch, there is a tool that lines up with them used to remove the back. From there you can access what guts the watch has. Hopefully this is an academic question though,. If you are looking for a working watch, I would agree that a jeweler or watchmaker is the better place to start
Firstly, you need a vice, in which to hold this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/MKCLOCKS-Wa...OQ6Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1357217598&sr=8-2
The watch is locked into it face down.
Then you need this to remove the securing ring on the back:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIGIFLEX-Pr...JDBQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1357217548&sr=8-2
By the time you have bought it all, it is probably cheaper to take into a jewellers. He already has all this stuff, and can whip it off in a jiffy.

The early morning troll gets the worm!
Take a strong pair of scissors.
Place the points of the scissors into two opposing notches on the ring.
While holding the scissors down firmly, and the holding the watch still, turn the ring anticlockwise.
Be aware that you may:
A) Break the scissors.
B) Slip and score the watch back.
C) Slip and stick the scissors into your hand.
D) Slip and gouge a furrow across the dining table.
E) Slip and sever a pinky.
F) All of the above.
Throw it to the ground :sly:

That's easy. All you need to do is create an extreme low pressure out side the watch and very high pressure inside the watch.

You're making it more complicated than it need be. He needs to make an exploratory incision to ensure that it's the battery then make a ring of plastic explosive around the cover to blow it off.
Take the watch.
Now trow it as far as you can.

Better yet,
Take 10 ml of concentrated hyrochloric acid and drop it on the back of the watch.
This will open the case.

I have tested this pretty extensively. It holds up great in my civic and my suburban. However, it you mount it to flat glass it falls off repeatedly. I drove a bus for our church vacation bible school and it fell of twic in 5 minutes. To make it worse, on of the arbs slid out and got lost. My best guess is that it needs the extra space behind the suction cup that a curved window offers.

I have it on my dash and what i did was to put a dab of water on the plastic suction cup before sticking on the glass
i am just afraid that someone might smash my window for it so remove it when i am done driving unless i am park at my own space
i found my car mount today to at Home Depot in the form of a roll of velcro tape, just 4 penny size circles in each corner was enough to hold the nexus firmly in place. i ordered a hard plastic case so i can put the tape on that instead of the tablet.
Just an FYI for my fellow Californian's, it's illegal to have anything (ie.Mobile Phone cradles, GPS, etc.) attached to the windshield apart from your Rear-view Mirror.
The Velcro idea is awesome wonder if the hard case will hold up to the heat and cold
I have some of those ezpass (toll transponder) plastic velcros with 3M tapes laying around and will try this

That's actually not true. You can attach it within a 5"x5"section on the lower driver side corner or a 7"x7" section on the lower passenger side corner. However, these are both still extremely limiting.

They can interfere with your vision.
I've always been annoyed by the horrible noise coming form my speakers, so I did some experimenting and it worked here's how to do it:
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Remove the black fabric covering the faulty speaker(s).
3. Place a piece of electrical tape directly on the speaker.
This will very slightly lower the volume but it alleviates the racket made by the poorly made drivers. This may not work for everyone.

Good Luck!

I have that problem, but hardly seems worth voiding my warranty to fix it by ripping the back cover off.
All you gotta do is turn the volume down a notch and its fine...

You don't rip the back cover off. It's just held in place by some clips. There's no way anyone will be able to tell you took the back off if you doing correctly.

The back just snaps off almost as if they wanted you to. There's no way to tell that you did it.

Sorry, this sounds like a terrible idea. The speakers seem to only be popped over the coil, the real fix would prevent them from coming off of the base. I have reattached mine three times now but they eventually pop back up after some loud notification or such.
Better speakers would be nice, the n7's are just awful.
I fixed my speaker issues or at least reduced it so it's not too bad...
1) remove the back cover
2) now look at the speaker grill from the inside of the back cover. It is a small piece of metal plate with fine holes in it. This is only tack welded to the back cover in a few spots. There may be a couple of pieces of tape from the factory already holding the center section of the plate.
3) now use a few small strips of tape and hold down the rest of the plate at its edges...
4) resemble the nexus 7 and test it out...
The cracking sounds are not as noticeable anymore...
Ymmv....
I am also thinking about removing the little plate all together, or replacing it with a plastic mesh or some thin foam...

Mine did. Had it in my back pocket (stupid, I know, but I'm used to sticking my devices there), and next thing I knew, I had a bent n5 with backlight bleed galore. Seems this is a common problem with the iPhone, but unfortunately I expect to see more n5 users fall into my boat, as I was even being relatively careful to not put excessive weight on it while sitting (and I only weigh 160lb). Save yourself headaches and break any habits you have of putting things in your rear pockets now. :'(

No idea why someone would put their phone in their back pockets in the first place, to be honest. Seems common sense not to do that.

Your everyday carry can get out of hand fast.
5 inch phone, wallet, keys, pen,headphones, knife,flashlight Some of us may carry guns depending on the country, license status , or occupation. You can hit the need for a "man purse/satchel" very quickly. Sometimes your pants have bigger back pockets so that's where it ends up.

Every time I see someone stick their phone in their back pocket, I give them a bewildered look. Then they ask me why I'm looking at them like that, and I reply, "You actually keep your phone in your back pocket? How can you stand that?"
Goodness gracious, that has to be a chore to sit on, and I've seen a many stories where phones have been broken by being sat on.
Sounds like a human error OP, not a manufacturing error. Nothing to go creating a thread about. Most of us know sitting on your phone is not very smart....

Back in the day, I used to carry my personal Cell Phone on my hip in a case along with my pager for my work and my Palm Pre PDA. I looked like a real Techno Geek for sure. These days, I carry my work phone on my hip only. My PDA and my cell are now one and I carry that in my front pocket. Heck...I get nervous when I bend forward to tie my shoes. But...I live in Canada eh? and carry my cell in my jacket pocket or shirt pocket most of the time now. I've very aware of it at all times as I do not want an accident to happen. Putting it in my back pocket and sitting on it makes me twitch just thinking of it!
Yeah, I never understood the reasoning behind putting a phone in your back pocket. I was always amazed to see someone pull a phone out of their back pocket and see it still turn on.
Something I'd never do though. If needs be I'll just carry a bag, TBH.

get exactly the same, its as closed as its going to get but keeps popping up about closing the back properly when I turn the phone on.
I don't think there's actually any correlation to the physical condition of the back. I think it's just a cover-your-ass thing by Samsung.

Nope, not the only one -- I believe every S5 model does this. As someone said above, it's Samsung covering their ass so they can't be blamed if you get it water damaged. I get a warning every time I reboot, every time I unplug charger, and most times I pop off the back. I also don't see any box that says don't show again. I wish I did
Here's the picture of the inside of my S5's back cover -- SM-G900A model:

Now I'm hoping this is normal and doesn't affect the water resistance lol. Even with it that way, I honestly don't see how it would affect the resistance.

Ya, but weirdly, the first day i didnt get any notification, it only started the second day when i actually remembered it was IP67 and wanted to see how, it then that i removed the cover and got the first notification. So i'm pretty sure there is a sensor to detect if it was opened
Hi,
seems to me, as if it is designed that way. I'm waiting for my S5 to be delivered, but looking at photos like this one:
(Picture from "theguardian dot com/technology/2014/apr/11/samsung-galaxy-s5-review-android")
It looks to me like the rubber seal changes its path to accommodate for the little space, comparable to the space left at the bottom for the battery-remove-hole. Their rubber seal has your phenomenon too, so I'd say it is normal.
Greetings,
Zuujin
Well, if you do, be prepared to spend half an hour using the edge of a piece of paper to remove all of the sand from between the screen and silver edge of the phone.
Can't you just simply watch it as it is water resistant ?

I tried that. The individual grains of sand get stuck in the tiny groove and won't wash out.
That's bad news
Isnt the s5 labeled as dust and water resistant?

Well, I literally sucked some of the sand out with my mouth, so there's that. A lot of it was still stuck under the edge of the screen, but I eventually got it all out with the edge of a sheet of paper. I might try a vacuum next time.
yeahhhh ive got the same problem.. its such a hassle especially if the grain of sand is the same exact dimensions as the gap its as if it was wedged in there permanently!!
sometimes the grain of sand thats stuck it there cuts my cheek when i answer the phone lol
i would suggest a toothpick or a sewing needle.. worked for 99.9% of mine!

I was too scared to try anything pointy. If the toothpick/needle didn't get the last grains out, try computer paper, notebook paper, and then try each of them folder over one time (to create a sort of "scooper" that will fit in the groove). This got me completely sand free.

Kind of laying low. I have a N3 and N10.1-14 that I'm pretty happy with and nothing on the market or coming is enticing enough to give me the new device itch. I'll probably get the Note 4 when it comes out. More out of reflex than anything else. My 3G N10.1-14 is my favorite device of all time.
