Is the battery replaceable? Should be obviously so, but then one customer review seems unsure

The battery is easily replaceable. It is worth noting that the watch opens to a 90 degree angle, not 180, so that the time is inconveniently seen when the watch is placed on a surface. It is, of course, easily seen when held.

I believe the battery is built in and I don't think you can easily replace it. But I could be wrong about battery replacement.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

It appears that the battery replacement is glued together by the factory. It seems that it was never intended to be serviced. The low cost of this unit would not make it cost effective to repair it. I'm a professional technician.

Have never had to replace. I would imagine you could do it with some difficulty, but it will probably be cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one. I think the quality of the battery is better than the rest of the unit

Doesn't look like it can be replaced. Can't find a way to access the battery.

I think they've changed the design of the product. I own an older model and it is possible to replace batteries. I bought another one recently for my husband. There is no way to change the battery - hence the "120 Hour" designation in the label. After using it for 120 hours, you're done. Perhaps the offer of batteries is an artifact in Amazon.com related to the earlier model.

I haven't yet had the need to replace the battery. I did however take a look at it yesterday as I was also curious and the only thing I can think of is using a straight screwdriver on the two screws (assuming they're screws) on the face of the device. You can see the battery within. There is no way they'd make a device you can't change the battery out on... it's gotta be it.

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

Sorry, I never noticed the battery and am reluctant take it apart. For me, it will be better to replace the unit than to purchase a replacement battery.

It doesn't look like the battery can be replaced. I had mine for a couple of months and it holds it's charge very well. A simple plug to wall charger or computer with its USB cable and it charges with no problems. It holds a pretty good charge for couple of days-depending how much u listen.

Unfortunately the battery is not replaceable unless you take the unit apart yourself. There's a couple of youtube videos discussing this but it may be more trouble than it is worth. The sides of the unit are glued together and need to be heated to be taken apart.

I was also hoping to keep a spare battery on hand. Looks like it's a permanent battery. Two issues bad about that is: you can NOT charge one while the other is in use and once the battery no longer holds a charge, the unit is useless. Did I miss this information (permanent battery not replaceable) somewhere in the product description?

mine has not worked either :( as far as I know there is no battery to change.

I haven't had to change the battery yet, but it has 4 small screws on the back,so I'm pretty sure that it is replaceable by the owner.

Not certain, but I believe they mean it's not a refurb. I've had mine for a few months now and haven't had any issues. Battery holds a charge as expected.

Could this battery be found and replaced with a little bit of technical expertise?
