Introduction

Tools

Step 1

Using your fingers, press down on the rubber circles to unbuckle the strap from itself.
Once you have removed two of the rubber circles from from a side you will be able to unbuckle the strap on that side.

Step 2

Hold the side power button to ensure the watch is completely shut down.

Step 3

To access the battery compartment use the Jaxa-style wrench tool. Secure the midframe while you pop up the back.
This will require an extremely high amount of force as there is a rubber seal and the fit is tight.

Thank you for putting this guide together. I have a Jaxa-style wrench but I am unable to find the correct wrench teeth to grip the edge; are you able to post most detailed photos and/or provide the wrench teeth that you used? Also, you have written "pop up the back" but as very best I can tell the photo is of the top of the watch, since the wrist straps are against the table

Step 4

Remove the battery cover by carefully using tweezers or the iFixit opening tool.

Step 5

Disconnect the small ribbon cable connector.
Remove the battery from the watch.

I tried searching online for the GREPOW 1ICP4/36/30 without much luck; do you have a vendor where you've had good luck finding these specialized batteries?
