Hi

 

I have had my Surge for 2 and 1/2 years and it has been faultless. Now, presumably because of its age, the battery only holds charge for a day and needs charging every morning after being switched off all night. Can tbe battery be replaced?

 

Many thanks.

I bought one of those replacement batteries and it didn't fit exactly. Further, to open up the watch requires you to rip glued down parts, cut the band, remove many extremely small screws, cut the battery wires and solder the new battery to those cut wires. Good luck if  you try, but I wouldn't waste my time again.
