Any seller/website that provides parts for Samsung watches

You can get unboxed versions of it for 8-9k and I think even scraped parts will cost a decent chunk of that. Unfortunately, they are designed to be disposable.

Just for reference, never used this site before, but a digitizer assembly is around 5k and the battery would be around 1k. You might be able to bring the parts costs down in total to around 5k not including Labour, but then not sure it is worth it at that cost.

third party replacement are a bit of luck. It can be done at much less price but at same time if it does not perform well. Money is gone.
If it performs well quite a decent amount is saved.

In my opinion check with local watch shops . they maybe able to get the battery replaced for smartwatch too.

I personally don't think we will get it much cheaper than that on local market, not to mention the quality of battery.

It can. You just need to take a chance.

Okay.
I cheched Ali express and saw there are batteries for the watch

So that means the replacement battery should be easy to find here to .
As many Local shops import batteries from China and store it. It is good chance you will find it.

To negotiate better....check the prices on Aliexpress which is about $8-$10 in your case and then add another 400-500 as labour charge.

So say 1000-1500 should be the price to replace it. but quote 800 something to start with but remained determined at your quoted price once you both agree.

AS in my case the person after bringing the battery from some inside godown store said bohat mehnga pad gaya ...aap ko thoda jyada dena padega. I said this is my last amount. Take or leave Sir.


btw get it done in front of you and atleast test it for 10-20 mins in same shop too....make sure you check if it is charging and all.

It might take your good time. I spent half day searching for my battery replacement for S4 tablet and sat another 2-3 hours to get it done and check before leaving.
My half day was gone just for one battery change. So it is bit of running around. PLus I didnt wanted to leave my tab with the person in fear of him doing something with any other part.

But credit to the guy he did it very patient as things take 20-30 mins to just open it without damaging.

Edit: You can save time by Finding pic on google of the battery model no. and show it to the watcher maker. He will not have to open it and all to check which battery is exactly meant for this particular watch.

@solo_wing i think its better to get it replaced from samsung itself as the final price is coming out to be 1315.
No hassle from my side

For the quoted price you should get it replaced in authorised service centre.
Third party seller or repair party is like playing with luck.
