@user151014 thanks for that photo - from what I can see it looks very clean under there though. The difference in what you see in the windows is expected - it definitely doesn't look like there are signs of corrosion or water...
And yes, I just got a scalpel blade under the window from the back (where you took the picture). Having it warm may help to loosen the glue - however if there are no obvious signs of it being corroded I wonder how worthwhile that might be?
@user159227 sorry to hear that - I haven't heard of anything like this happening before (the only 2 times - this and one other - I heard of this happening it was in older watches).
Is the rear of your Bangle getting hot? Do the LEDs on the HRM still flash when it's on? They should turn off when away from your skin but if you put your finger nearby they should turn on.
And have you updated the firmware to 2v24? Because I know some newer watches were shipped with an older firmware that had an issue with increased power draw caused by the GPS (and I guess it's possibly it could affect HRM accuracy), but 2v24 and later should fix that.
And yes, the Bangle does have some water resistance and should be fine for everyday wear and tear. It's more showers, baths, swimming etc where there's prolonged contact with water, especially if there's detergent and/or hot water involved.
