Unfortunately, opening up your Apple Watch may damage the Force Touch sensor, which also serves as a gasketing seal. The sensor is made up of two layers, glued together. These layers may separate when you open your watch, compromising its seal after reassembly. If this happens, you'll need to repair or replace the sensor before reassembling your watch.
Be sure to follow our Reemplazo de adhesivo en Apple Watch guide when you're done.

I can't stress enough how important it is to not flex the digitizer ribbon cable. A cracked ribbon cable will necessitate replacing the entire lcd.
This is a Fact. It happened to me when the whole rig hit the floor lol
If there is a new induction frame - do not use double-sided adhesive tape.
How can I tell if there is a new induction frame?
By Induction Frame, what do you mean, exactly?
