Any idea where one can purchase the actual battery? I can’t find one anywhere.

edgar.dumea - Aug 31, 2018

@Chris wellings: i was able to find one on ebay. Arrived quite quickly. And you definitely need a T2(not 3) screwdriver to open up the watch.

Alex Swanson - Oct 27, 2020

Also found one on eBay. I was replacing the battery on the standard Huawei Watch (W1) and this guide was really helpful.

Paul M - Dec 12, 2018

thanks for this great guide, it’s very clear. My W1’s battery is still OK, but I’m anticipating needing to change it sometime and your guide removes the fear!

T2 or T3 Torx ???
