This is not the final design, it might gain a connector in the final. It might not. But even if it doesn't, splicing the wires shouldn't be too difficult for most who'd dare open their watch. I'm pretty confident I can do it.

True. Although I'd still find a way to mess it up somehow.

I’ve repaired and tinkered with many phones and computers, I thought I’d be able to change the battery in my third gen iPod nano… But I completely messed it up because of the soldering. It ain’t easy :(
