Apple Watch Battery Replacement for $79 Story
Hey folks. I just wanted to share my experience getting my wife’s Apple Watch battery replaced from Apple.
With Apple either slowing down adding new features or just not being able to add many new features like new sensors, its never been a better time to keep your watches longer.
My wife’s watch recently started to die before the end of the day. I took a look at the battery health, and it was 76%. Apple will replace not just the battery, but the whole Apple Watch with a new or refurbished model for $79. Since I bought her a used S5 stainless steel model for around $300 almost two years ago, I thought it prudent to just spend the $79, and let her use it for another 3+ years.
We will see what Apple can come out with then, but I thought if anyone has an S4 or later, and Apple hasn’t added enough new features for them to upgrade, this is a great option. Especially if the person bought one of the more premium models like stainless steel, ceramic, or titanium. The key is that the battery health has to be below 80% for them to replace it.
Hopefully this information can help someone who has this problem.
