How long have you had this ? If it is a hardware issue it should be returned
8 months. Banggood told me that I am out of warranty and they couldn’t replace it. We made a compensation and everything ok!
So, the only option for me was to give it a try.
That was exactly the Picture I was looking for !! Thank you Tan_Laz.
You opened It through the front right? With the little ‘Sucker’ 
that came with the watch.
Did you heat it up a little before pulling?
I opened It with a guitar pen from the front side.
I also heated it up, not much.
I tried with my 
nails with no success hahaha 
@Dr_Andy_Vishnu
I have hoped for a Software solution, that would have been the easiest. I bought the watch in September from Aliexpress. You are right. Maybe I should try to ask the seller, but I don’t think I would return it. It takes a lot of time and you can not be sure that the same happens again.
Okay I’ll try this first.
Thank you 
The problem is the firmware is fine . So that wont help . You could try flashing V1.2 which i use then factory reset
@Tan_Laz Okay , that sounds makeable. What would you suppose for sealing it back? (of course without warranty)
Be good to hear your results
I have the same here. But I think it is not a hardware problem. As you use an application and it show 0/17 (like mine), for me my conclusion is that antenna and satellite receiving signal is working. The problem to fix some of the 17 in view in my opinion is related with the software. If the problem is hardware maybe we see 0/0 and not 0/17.
my 2 cents.

Hello Friends!
The Firmware change to 1.2 and factory reset did not solve the GPS problem.
@Tan_Laz I re soldered the contacs. More or less beautiful. 
I really need a flux pen and a smaller hotter iron for the smd size ‘Reflow’. Unfortunately it didnt help. Maybe my soldering iron is not hot enough. What equipment did you use?
The good thing, the watch is still working.
I don’t know, if GPS/WIFI/BT is it one Antenna, Wifi and Bluetooth is working, why not GPS…
@mgpiccinini: Yes. That is indeed strange. I thought this is from the downladed A-Gps data.
But sometimes just for a millisecond (when changing between apps) I looked like I got a short lock.
It looks like this:

Thank you all for your interest, have a nice week! 
Hello friends,
I have the same problem on my S08. Bluetooth keeps disconnecting and GPS is not fixed. Could you give more information about how you opened the S08? How did you heat up to release the front? What precautions do you need to take?
You can use a heat gun very carefully or a hair-dryer.
But you need to be extremely careful not to damage the touch screen.
Maybe you should try to use the method above?
A guitar pick or phone opening tool kit you can purchase for a few dollars will have the very thin plastic tools for this.
However, you can’t fix the GPS problem this way.
The antenna is actually connected but the GPS data is set for China and is not updating correctly.
Sometimes good GPS tools or using the engineering mode shortcut app from the play store can help. You need to enable developer option first to use the engineering mode shortcut app.
These are indeed the antenna connections and they connect to thin strips within the casing.
The problem comes from customers wanting to be able to change straps and so the antenna is no longer in the strap. It was much more accurate when the antennas were external to the casing and this is also why we can’t get metal cases anymore

@alexsandroz Like pablo said. I used a Hairdryer and a cutter-knive. I heated and carefully turned the whole side of cutter to shear off the screen. It went fine, but I would not really recommend the cutter as tool. My guitar pik was too big and weak for the small gap.
But:
My watch is still open, because I didn’t find a real solution. Its still unclear weather it is the firmware or the antenna thing. GPS and bluetooth are (for me) the most importent part of a full android watch.
I will try to solder a wire to the contacts, thank you for bringing me back on this project. 
For gluing it back together I bought B6000. A classic smartphone glue. Maybe heating only is enough.
@pablo11 Is there a chance of a new firmware for the China EPO data GPS problem?
@pablo11 They should make it a full android metall watch. 
I mean, form follows function!
Thanks for the answers. I will try to open the smartwatch this week.
Good Luck!
Last week I’ve soldered 3 wires to the golden plates on the right, but the Signal did not improve. So far no luck. Will try the other side of the right contacts.
The watch is very well enineered. It is good that you could repair it. Good for the Environment 
If you search this forum for ‘no GPS’ you get a lot of similar results, so maybe it is a common problem with all of these watches. 2 years ago I had a lem12 and the GPS was not perfect but up to 5m pretty accurate.
I think the issue is that the GPS config data in the NV data directory is wrong and cannot be altered without a huge amount of issue.
If it is the Android 7.1.1 version it can be achieved through patched boot and root but in Android 10 it is not possible.
I believe this is why it passes tests in the Chinese factory but not elsewhere…
It is also almost impossible to get a decent result without using AGPS all the time.
So without Wi-Fi or Sim cellular data - the data is not good.
Have you used the built in engineering tool to reset and clear the GPS data and perform a cold start?
