I've even done a complete housing transfer although it does require a really good tool that doesn't chip away after the first couple of screws. While doing mine I was thinking a lot about apple not allowing repairs on the iwatch too. Maybe you could just replace the digitizer if the lcd is still intact. By doing this you would be using the original electronics. I also found a cheaper way to repair iwatches which I'll probably have it in my videos if I ever upload.
