Introduction

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your Huawei Watch GT. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

Note: If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

To reassemble your Huawei Watch GT follow these instructions in reverse.

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
