Spoiler Saver HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Amazing work, Vince. I very much doubt I could have soldered those tiny wires, that thing would probably have ended up in the bin! Fantastic perseverance! All the very best for 2024! 🎉

I would have bet good money you would have gone zero for three when you put "Apple watches" and "repair" in the same sentence. Thank you for proving me wrong! Happy New Year!

Deep respect for getting those wires soldered.💪🏻 I would have trashed this thing 🤣

Just an unsolicited thought. Wrap the exposed edges of your sharp spudger with some electrical tape or at least a couple layers of masking tape. You may also consider stiffening it up by taping it to you stiff spudger leaving 8mm or so exposed to penetrate and pry with. I acknowledge you got it without these thoughts but surely taping up the edges rather than slicing one's fingertips would be preferable. Keep up the great work and being an inspiration.

Hi Vince, you are a prime example that training makes a master. You are getting better and better each time you fix something. I wish you and your family all the best for 2024.

I repaired a lot of iPads and iPhones in the past but I stopped years ago. This kind of videos make me enthusiastic again

Next Weeks Episode --- Vince performs a vasectomy . . . ...on a mosquito! Popcorn at the ready! Great video Vince. And a nice job too. 👍🇬🇧😎

Arguably your most impressive repair Vince! Miniaturization magic! Top job.

It was so nice and a pleasure meeting you! Thanks so much for everything ☺️

My best repair this year was saving my dishwasher....you inspired me to take a punt....thanks Vince 👍👍👍

This Apple Watch Repair was nutts...insane....you are a genius !

Maybe one wire does not connect, thats why the screen is not fully working, maybe, but amazing work

Hi Vince I been watching your videos for a long time and I really like your videos and I love your videos

Hi Vince. Nice work. A tip for you - I wind some masking tape around my finger, and / or or stick a layer or two on my palm to stop damage from edged on opening tools etc.

Amazing work, I enjoy watching your videos, keep it on.

Yes - soldermasking fine wires or tiny legs so close to each other is the only way - it stops bridges and prevents the previous solder parts becoming unsoldered - but wow - that was fine wire

Amazing work! Though this undoubtedly tells me that I don't really want to work on those...

Your skill at dealing with all these stupid glues and tapes without breaking anything is getting really impressive! I wonder if applying low melt to each pin then low temperature hot air (warm air? 🤔) would be enough to remove those connectors or if they would melt first?

ignore the people who never solder and tell you you cant solder. been telling you from the start its within your ability to solder this stuff, its just a matter of patience and practice. And you have more patience than i do, so by extention you have the ability to be better than i am at soldering. "yes i could solder that watch" No i wouldnt do it because its not worth my sanity.

Great job! Much efforts but worth it!

im very impressed how you didnt damage these extremely fragile OLED displays and managed to do that digitizer solder job without breaking the screen and it actually working. well done mate

Not sure if its the same brush but you can drop IPA down the tube when need to do what you did with the battery.... my brush allows for that

It’s been a while since I watched your repairs - I didn’t stop liking them, I guess I just ‘had my fill’ after seeing you do so many. I was curious when I saw that you’d attempted to repair an apple watch though, so I decided to have a look, and wow… Amazing work Vince! You made it look so easy, I’m super impressed! Never would have thought a repair like that would even be possible, it gave me a big smile when I saw you actually using the watch after. It’s also nice to see that your commentary is as pleasant to listen to as it always was. Thanks for continuing to share your repairs with us!

Meatloaf "2 out of 3 ain't bad" Great fix and even better micro soldering, the dedication and patience you have shown has put you on another level, hope you had a good Christmas and wishing you and your family a happy New year 🎊

Oooh the moonswatch I quite fancy one of those one day. I wonder if I can get a broken one for cheap to try and repair LOL great repair vid Vince and happy new year 🎉

Maybe consider feeler gauges for prying tiny seams open? All the best ,mate!

That 0.1mm tool you brought, I also brought before and I don’t even know why I brought it 😂, like you said “it’s like paper” couldn’t of put it better myself 🤣🤣

You should invest in an anti glare light, Northridge fix has one that he sells. He used it on a CPU and the soldering was crystal clear and easy to see what he was doing

Some people just like to criticize. I'm amazed you even tried to solder those tiny, tiny wires, much less succeeded! Even putting on a new connector would have been very difficult, but you did the even more difficult soldering!

As Alex from Northridge Fix would say: better than factory!

when replacing the screen (glass part ) with the OCA glue you put the glue in the center of the screen and place the new glass on top and it pushs the air out with just the weight of the new glass , you dont need a special machine to them , most of the time a machine is only need when seperating the glass from the screen but have seen people change them without the maching but is a bit of a pain and time consuming.

I feel you man, my 6.5 inch wrists don't allow me to wear anything bigger than 40mm, 38mm seiko 5s are my favourite. Really like the rado captain cook white one, I'll get it one day inshallah

lol Vince at the end of the video when you asked Siri how many steps have I done today my iPhone popped up and replied sorry can’t help you with this one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wow, Vince! Well done! Soldering those tiny wires and using the solder mask was brilliant. Happy New Year!

If that glue is anything like Superglue, the life of the glue can be greatly extended by keeping it in the fridge 😉

for heating watches, use one of those microwave 'hot water bottles', leave it sitting on top of the watch for a few minutes then attempt to lift the screen

Damn Vince that's some propper soldering work!

That sound effect Vince had me howling 😂 good job Vince *clapping* huh heh hey 😂

I have a series 6, and if it ever stops working or if I need to change the battery one day, this video will be incredibly helpful. Thanks Vince!

Happy New Year Vince, i wish you and your family all the best .

For controlled application of IPA you might want to get some pipettes of different sizes for that kind of job 👍

Wishing you and your Subscribers a very Happy 2024 Vince

That's awesome! I know that those trace wires are tiny and you struggle, but to me you make it look easier than it actually is. 2/3 isn't bad! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

I used to do iPhone screen refurbing and you do need quite a lot of gear and it’s expensive. That being said it’s so satisfying to do.

Well done vince great repair happy new year to you

Happy new year Vince, thanks for all the videos 😎👍

I love that fix it mentality at the end. If it's broken. Give it a shot. The only things that will happen is either you fix it and learn something or you don't fix it and maybe learn something. Even if you completely and royally mess up something like I have done in the past. You gain experience. I ripped traces the first time I tried to remove a USB port. The second time I removed a USB port. It worked beautifully. The third time I had different tools and I ripped a trace. But I persevered and was able to repair that trace. Basically, if it's broken and you like fixing stuff where you watch these KZfaqrs. Try to fix it. The worst you can do is not fix it

Amazing video, as always! Thank you for the videos throughout the year! Happy new year, Vince! Wishing all the best to you and your family!!!

My Mate, you're good in tinkering with things, you for sure know that 🙂. A pleasure to watch your videos. Happy New Year!

Fantastic fix, all the very best for 2024

great video vince i have been super busy at work so not had time to watch lately

That mat made me remember sea shanty.

Amazing work Vince. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Excellent fixes Vince well done, that soldering was an eye opener well done for taking them on and the work you did Happy new year to you and all of your family all the best 😊

I have the original model of Apple Watch. I have been using it daily for almost exactly five years (within five days from that mark) and just yesterday, the screen popped off. I had seen some stuff about that happening to older models, so I wasn't really surprised. I took off the screen and removed the battery last night, and the battery was very puffy. I covered it in clear tape with most of the parts removed and I think it looks cooler now. Unfortunately, it can no longer track my activity. I would like to repair it soon, but I'm really not sure if I will since it is a really old model. Also, I have heard about the newer models of Apple Watches having so many different problems (as your video shows), that I don't want to upgrade to a new Apple Watch. I don't think I would like it as much.

Vince, your skills are absolutely remarkable! Good going mate! Happy New Year!

Well done! perseverance pays.

Wow. It's nice to see someone win against Apple

Great fix Vince what a hard solder job but well saved from ewaste enjoyed this fix

you done a great work on them vince i could never of done that

That gives me more confidence to persevere. I tend to give up when I'm unhappy with my soldering - well done!

Awesome Job Vince!👍 Great respect!👏👏👏 I've soldered small stuff before but perhaps not as small as that! I think I would have just replaced the screen but you did a great job! Have a great new year!🎉🎉🎉

Happy New Year Vince - thank you for entertaining me, and encouraging me to try to fix things myself. Your encouragement is working 🙂

Happy new year Vince.

Great work once again Vince and happy new year to you and your family

Impressive final fix there! Patience, perseverance and above all skillzzzzzz 🏅

Fantastic work! Does Pateron have any raw footage of the fixes or extended videos? Happy New Year!

Pretty sure those connectors are proprietary to Apple so you can't buy them only scavenge them from other devices. Great work though, working on these watches is not easy.

Well done Vince!

Happy new year everyone and great fix

Wow amazing work Vince!

Great watching you Vince, a happy New Year to you and your family!

Vince you are a solder wizard!! Great job on fixing these watches. Best wishes, for the new year, from the USA!

good work that man. HOw interesting about solder mask, never ever heard of it before

You are one impressive guy Vince. Happy new year,

Wow really nice job sodering Is very impressive vince

Sound job Vince and happy new year👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What a nice guy vince is. Hope you had a happy Christmas and a fantastic new year to you and the vince family. All the best.

happy new year from me and husband who loves watching how to fix things

Thank you for all the excellent entertainment this year, Vince. Happy new year and best wishes to you and yours.

Well done Vince good job. Wishes you a happy new year to you and all your family i have been watching all your videos from the start you have grown a lot over the years in fixing things. I live in Australia 🇦🇺 God bless you

You Sir are and absolute GOD of Repairs, you certainly inspired me to start my own channel , as i used to fix things before youtube even existed!! Thanks for that and happy new year!

One of the best fixes I've seen. Brilliant

I just have to tell you: thank you so much for all the inspiration! Happy new year!

wow that was nice fixes when it comes to apple products, no lockouts like with the new iphones. happy new year

Very well done Vince- there’s no way I’d attempt soldering those. I had some success repairing my old series one after I ripped the sacredness sensor - that I’d not seen as I pryed the screen up, replacing the battery. They are fiddly little yokes! Happy new 2024- I’ve only found your channel about 8 months but I’m a fan of you varied work and exploits.

Nice one ,All the best Vince

I would love to see more apple watch repairs. I would not have had the fine motor skills to fix each individual wire. Getting a new screen would be easier. Super effort mate! Happy New Year!

I admire you for your patience.

It's impressive that you're able to do so much work on those tiny things! Impressive dexterity

I honestly can't believe you pulled that off. Delightful work.

Vince Know where you are coming from, as in RD we had AI doing the welding/Soldering down to 5 nano of fuse wire for making fused chips (Tantalum capacitor's) But remarkable looking through a microscope. Good on you forever challenging projects!!!

Nice work Vince.

Love the work on this, what a great result, you can get covers in colours & glass protector for the watch that protect it from scratches & make it look new, they only cost a few quid. Amazing inspiration!! Thanks for posting

Happy New year to you Vince 🎉

Lunatic genius! Love your work, patience of an angel👍🏻

NICE work it`s hard to solder that small wires , keep up the good work and happy new year 👍👍👍👍

Amazing fixes Vince. Hope you have a great New Year. Wishing you many fixes for 2024!
