Apple Watch Battery: HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERY
Slightly

Because
the gap between the screen and watch body is so thin, a sharp blade is required
to separate the two. Read the following warnings carefully before proceeding.
Always keep your fingers
completely clear of the knife. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this might cause the knife to slip and cut you, or damage the watch. Wear eye protection. The knife or glass may break, sending pieces flying.

Using
a curved blade minimizes the chance of scratching the case or cracking the
glass. Only pry with the curved section of the blade, and not the tip or flat
section. Place the curved section of the blade in the gap between the glass and
case on the lower edge of the watch face, and press firmly down into the gap.
Be very careful to maintain complete control over the knife once the gap opens,
if you're pressing too hard on the knife it may slip in and cut the battery.
This should wedge the gap open and cause the glass to lift slightly up from the
case. When the glass has lifted, gently rotate the knife down, opening the gap
more by pushing the glass up.
Once
you've opened the gap enough, insert the tip of an opening pick under the
glass. Slide the pick along the bottom edge to separate adhesive holding the
screen to the case. Be careful not to insert the opening pick too far. Only
about 1/8" ( about 3 mm) is necessary, any deeper and you may damage
cables.
Roll
the opening pick up the side of the button side of the watch, gently pushing in
to separate the adhesive and widening the gap as you go. Remember not to push
the pick in too far it's easier to avoid this by rolling the pick, rather than
dragging a tip along.
Work
the pick around the top right corner, and roll it along the top edge of the
screen.
Continue
working the pick around the perimeter of the screen, rolling down along the
left side to cut the last of the adhesive. Leave the pick in place to keep the
adhesive from resealing the screen in place.
While
holding the first pick in place, use a second to check that all of the adhesive
is separated around the entire perimeter of the screen.
There
are two cables connecting the screen to the inside of the watch, near the top
left corner. Be careful when prying or you may damage these cables. Pry
slightly up on the right side of the screen, to free it from any remaining
adhesive. Pry up on the left to free it as well but do not attempt to remove the
screen as it is still held in place by two cables.
If
you can see the top layer of your Force Touch sensor among the display
adhesive, it means the two layers of the sensor separated and you're going to
need to replace or repair it.
The
top layer of the sensor may be adhered to the back of the screen - push it down
to separate it,
Lift
the screen up and shift it to the left, minding the display data and digitizer
cables.
Wedge
a plastic opening tool between the right side of the battery and the case. Pry
the battery up to separate it from the adhesive securing it to the system
board.
Do
not attempt to remove the battery as it is still connected.
Rotate
the battery counterclockwise to expose its connector.
Hold
the battery up and out of the way, to expose the battery cable connector. Use a
plastic opening tool, prying against the bottom of the case to separate the
battery cable connector from the watch's battery cable. Remove the battery from
the watch.
