Hello! I'm trying to identify the third black strip when you first open the watch that isn't a part of the display flex cable. I'm unsure if it's just tape or a cable. Can someone help me identify what it is?
The watch is currently taken apart to replace the display flex cable, but this is a photo of where it disconnected.
Questa è una buona domanda?

Here's a better picture of the display cables
And now with the cables disconnected from the display unit
The thin cable is a grounding cable to link the displays ground to the watch bases ground. This has two functions one to dissipate static discharge you might have and to control EMI noise
Its anchored within the crown wheel unit and the foil sheet which is applied to the back of the display.
Here's another view so you can see how the cable is attached to the case

Super helpful; thank you! I’m concerned this cable is damaged and there aren’t any DIY repair videos/instructions out there relating to it.
@Sara Lenz - Did it become detached? Post a picture where it's damaged.
Also don't forget to score and accept the answer if you're set - Thanks!
Bringing this back -- I also damaged this when replacing the screen and hoping to get a replacement for this but I also can't find one on ifixit or anywhere else on the web. Anyone have any luck?
@melinajefferson - Apple doesn’t offer parts and even the part houses don’t have much for the watches.
Depending on the damage it may not matter as the cover shield still works with one leg. If both are cut then you made to get a new shield piece. If the data ribbon cable is damaged that’s really the end of the watch as The whole logic unit (SIP package) will need to be replaced as the cable is not offered as a part.
Anyone can help identify what is this? and what its for? Tq

Sara - The grounding cable alone is replaceable!
Loosing the two screws which hold the thumbwheel assembly and then sliding in the new cable as its caught by the bracket (don't forget to take the small piece thats still there)

Thanks! What do you mean by “small piece that’s still there?”
da Sara Lenz
@Sara Lenz =- Once you unscrew the thumbwheel assembly screws a bit use a tweezer to pull the small piece caught under the bracket. Trust me there's s fragment still caught in there.

Ah, gotcha! Thank you so much!

I can’t seem to find a replacement part when searching for “grounding cable” - is there another name for it?
