Watch failure: Why did my Polar Ignite 3 do this?

RV Rookie in my 60s ·

My Polar Ignite 3 watch face just detached from the housing. I am showing the internal components to see if this is common. I have been using this device to track my fitness data consistently, so seeing it fall apart like this was a total surprise. It is frustrating to have a piece of gear fail when you rely on it for daily health metrics. I am sharing this footage to document the damage and see if others have run into similar fitness tracker issues with this specific model. I am genuinely curious if this is a widespread problem regarding smartwatch durability or just a random defect. If you have any experience with a watch face repair or have seen this happen before, please share your thoughts below.
