Introduction

I only got this watch 2 years ago and the battery itself is from 2015, so its been sitting for 2 years on top of that. Recently the watch was fully charged and by 9-10am, I get an alert on the phone that the watch had shut off.

Step 1

              Battery
  • Pick any sides, and just wedge a flat pick to pop it open. Its held by gasket. I choose the top. work out well for me

Step 2

  • Try to keep some of the gaskets on the right, some will be tangle up, you can cut those out. The pin connectors on the left, they are not glue down so if you drop them, just put them back

Step 3

  • Use the pull tab to pull out the battery.. if it doesn’t pull out, wedge something under it.. the one I had was pretty weak, pulled out easier.

Step 7

  • Place the new battery in and match the battery pigtail to the watch case. There are 2 dimples where you match to the pig tale. Once all the parts are secure, just snap the face back and do a test. Make sure everything still works, calling, texting, touch screen.
