Pebble employs tons of adhesive to keep water—and tinkerers—out. Add in a bezel around the screen, and it's impossible to separate the cases without compromising the display.

With plenty of elbow grease and our iSesamo, we get our proverbial foot in the door and start prying this Pebble open.

We manage to part the cases, leaving the stubborn smartwatch in only slightly better condition than if we had bombarded it with actual pebbles until it popped open.
