Writer John Campbell

Steps :

1. Remove the four Torx screws from the watch’s band by first removing the screws from inside the band.

2. In order to proceed, you’ll need to remove both housings from the band. Using a blade and your nails or two pieces of plastic works well. Here’s where you have to be really careful because the assembly is snapped into place with a lot of force and could shatter.

3. The circuit board must be removed from the electronic casing at this stage. Detach the circuit board by lifting the 2 bolts keeping it in place with your Torx driver once more. Be careful not to break any of the board’s parts when you pry it out.

4. Remove the battery connections from the circuit board and get your new battery ready. Replace the old battery.

5. The next step is to smoulder. Since gripping the circuit board makes it difficult to smoulder it, we advise you to tape it down while you work.

6. Smolder the new battery into position after attaching it to the circuit panel.

7. Before you remove the old battery, make sure to splice both wires together. By doing this, the circuit board will not be broken because of a short.

8. Check to see if everything is functioning correctly after battery replacement.

9. Charge it for around 30 minutes by plugging it in. Check to verify if it works by connecting it to a power source.

10. Reassemble your device thereafter. Reinstall the electrical circuit board by tightening the screws on the circuit board.

11. Put the band back on, being cautious not to break the case. It ought to be able to snap back into place without any issues.

12. Reattach the band’s electrical housing with a screwdriver.
