Introduction
Use this guide to replace a broken, cracked, or defective display on your Apple Watch Series 6.
Replacing the display can cause issues with Apple Pay. If possible, to reduce the likelihood of problems, delete all your Apple Pay account info before the replacement, and then re-enter it with the new display installed.
This guide shows the procedure on the cellular/LTE version of the watch, but the standard GPS-only version is similar.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

I think it is just a grounding wire.
Did you ever find out what that third wire is?
