Use this guide to replace a dead or worn-out battery in your Google Pixel Watch 4.

Your watch's battery has a limited lifespan. If your watch doesn't hold a charge or dies unexpectedly, it might be time to replace the battery.

This guide was written using a 41 mm LTE model Pixel Watch 4. While some photos may contain slight visual discrepancies, procedures for all 41 mm and 45 mm models are functionally the same.

    • Before starting your repair:

    • Throughout the rest of your repair, consider placing your watch on something soft like a clean cloth to help stabilize it and prevent scratches to the front glass.

    • Use a Torx Plus 2IP screwdriver to remove the 3.0 mm‑long screw from both watch band grooves (two screws total).

    • Both screws have a tiny O‑ring. If they don't lift away with the screw, use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove them from the band groove and set them aside. These O-rings are required to maintain waterproofing.

    • Handle these O-rings carefully. Avoid pinching or slicing them with your tool.

    • During reassembly:

    • Make sure the O‑rings are on the screws before installing them.

    • Push down firmly on the back glass while installing the screws to make sure the glass gets properly seated.

    • If there's a gap between the back glass and frame, remove the screws and reinstall them.

    • Optionally, you can disconnect the back glass to give you more room to work—though you can complete the repair just fine with it still connected.

    • Use a Torx Plus 2IP screwdriver to remove the two 2.2 mm‑long screws securing the vibration motor.

    • Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery press connector.

    • During reassembly, use the point of a spudger to press down and reconnect the press connector.

    • This can be tricky, and may take a few tries.

    • If you're having trouble, loosen the two battery screws and reposition the connector. Once connected, re-tighten the battery screws.
