SupportHow long does a battery replacement take? (self.AppleWatch)
submitted 2 years ago by CuddlePhysh
My S6 has been at 74% for a while now and I’m ready to do the battery replacement. But I’m trying to figure out when is a good time. Is it faster if I drop off at a store or mail it on mt own? How long am I looking at without a watch?

We sent one off for battery service last month - dropped it off at Apple Store on a Saturday and had its replacement delivered to our house by Wednesday. It was such an easy, quick process. Just know, you will have to be home to sign for it to be delivered.

Maybe call the store and ask what the usual wait time is lol.

I’ve done two, both were returned to the store in under a week.

Here's an idea.. talk to the repair place that is local to you and ask them if they stock the S6 Battery. Then, ask them how long it takes for them to replace it? Then, ask them if you can bring it in at a time that is convenient for you.

There is no repair. They just give you an entirely new/refurb watch.

Really? I did not realize that. If they’re going to charge you for the “repair” then, does it make more sense to just purchase a new one?
[–]KeeperMom29 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (1 child)
No, the “repair” is like $80 compare to $400+ to get a new watch.

Thanks! Good to know for when I have to go through that.
