Garmin VivoActive 4S Bezel Guard (Glued)

After bustin the edge on my bezel on my smart watch whilst out bouldering and suspecting a new bezel would take a while to get my hands on, I wanted to keep the watch going while I sorted that out and try and protect the screen from additional damage.

This simple model basically is glued onto the bezel using super glue. I did this because I wanted to seal up the cracks/damage to prevent them from propagating and to try and ensure the seal is still maintained for swimming. 

I also tried to keep it minimal so it doesn't bulk up my watch as I ain't the “big watch” sorta fella.

Cadded it up in FreeCad (which isn't too hard to use once you get your head around it if you've been used and screwed by Autodesk/Fusion 360, use the Parma (yeah I was craving chicken parma) spreadsheet to adjust parameters as needed.

Given it's a wearable I'd avoid using kicker, just let the super glue set up on it's own. Be extremely sparing with the amounts of super glue you want to use if you want to ever be able to service the watch again.

Super glue used is Bob Smith Industries Super Gold Plus Medium “Gap Filling Glue”
