Apple watch 32mm Digitizer only repair?
Okay so I repair many apple devices. I recently purchased an apple watch with a cracked digitizer. I am aware that the LCD is fused with the digitizer to essentially make them "one part". But on ebay, etc. I see tons of OEM digitizer only apple watch parts. So my question is:
Is it possible to seperate my cracked digitizer and working LCD and then somehow fuse the old LCD with the new digitizer? Im sure it must be possible if they are selling the digitizer seperate, if it is possible could someone explain how to go about doing so? Note ifixit guides and ALL guides i have come across ONLY show how to replace the LCD/digitizer as a whole. I want to replace digitizer only. Please do not respond with its not possible. If its not possible explain why all the digitizers I find do not include a fused LCD.
thanks in advance

I know this is 2 years old, BUT there is a MUCH easier way to separate glass from lcds. I do so with iPhones and would be able to do the same with the watch.
LOCA glue (what you're referring to. Liquid optically clear adhesive) is the WORST and most messy way to do a glass repair.
You'll want OCA (optically clear adhesive) which is a film that adheres to the glass and digitizer and with the proper machines you can laminate and debubble it in minutes. No mess, less time, more efficient.
There is a cheap machine online that I use for the separation aspect. It is a plate that heats up with a suction that keeps the LCD down. Then you take a thin wire to put it between the LCD and glass and voila! The heat softens the adhesive, and the wire cuts between the glass and digitizer effortlessly.
Look up iPhone LCD refurbishing on YouTube, its a whole other world of repair. It's very niche and profitable but a learning curve. But I'm glad I did it
