QUOTE(tcwan @ Apr 29 2024, 02:29 PM) Same here. Just got the "Service Battery notice" last week. Switch only lists like-for-like exchange which is super expensive. Mine now 80% BH since launch I checked online via the Apple Support link, seems that Apple now has AW7 Battery Replacement service? But it's mail in by arranged pickup with courier.... anyone has experience with this? What's your solution and any price range ? Update: Just found this site and see estimatoin ![]() This post has been edited by TongCN: May 24 2024, 02:14 PM |

QUOTE(TongCN @ May 24 2024, 02:12 PM) Mine now 80% BH since launch I walked into Switch Service Center to ask about this, they said "Even though it shows the estimated cost, Apple doesn't offer battery-replacement service, it will still be a like-for-like swap", which would be a lot more expensive than the initial estimate.What's your solution and any price range ? Update: Just found this site and see estimatoin ![]() So I'm holding off on servicing my AW7. I don't know if things will change once the Apple Store is up and running. Unfortunately I am in Penang, so I can't just walk in to the Apple Store to check when the time comes. This post has been edited by tcwan: May 26 2024, 09:23 PM |

QUOTE(farkingdom @ May 27 2024, 09:35 PM) When Apple Store opens you should be able to get it swapped for that price provided your BH is below 80 percent Finally gotten around to going to the Apple Store @ TRX. After going through the diagnosis, I was able to do a swap for RM 449 due to the battery level being less than 80%. There is no battery replacement. It is actually a device swap. Thankfully they even accepted my old unit which has a scratch on the glass (but the glass was not broken) at no extra cost.However, the procedure takes 1-2 weeks, so it's not something that can be done one the spot. I did ask whether it could be done via mail-in service, but I got the impression that they couldn't guarantee that it would be at the RM 449 cost without running the diagnostics to verify the battery condition first. The only sad part of this whole story is that I could not reactivate my Digi AirSim for my cellular plan; CelcomDigi discountinued it sometime last year and I would need to upgrade to a more expensive plan to qualify for watch cellular service (which also increased to RM 20/watch, on top of the more expensive postpaid plan). |

However it does make me wonder if apple still keeps stocks for series 7, or will they replace with the latest model (aka paying RM449 for an upgrade to Series 10) |

QUOTE(vkashin @ Feb 3 2025, 03:22 PM) i bought ESSAGER ES-WC13, it's slower than original apple fast charger but faster than the first gen AW charger most likely is refurbished products la. what i mean is they will swap ur unit, but they take ur unit and do the replacement of the batt probably at factory cos they cannot do it at apple store service centre, then recertified it as apple certified refurb product.haha i see. i thought since they dont open up the watch to swap the batteries, they would replace with brand new ones vkashin liked this post

Possibly that also only applies if it was done under AppleCare (+?).haha i see. i thought since they dont open up the watch to swap the batteries, they would replace with brand new ones That is not likely at this point of the AW7 lifecycle. The replacement AW7 battery was 100% in the Battery menu. This post has been edited by tcwan: Feb 5 2025, 12:52 PM |

Oops, didn't see your post till now.Cause flying KL this week and might wanna schedule the "battery replacement" if can. Right now 75% I didn't mail-in. I made an in-person appointment and came back to pick it up a few weeks later. After ~10 months, my battery is down to 94% (41 mm). This post has been edited by tcwan: Nov 12 2025, 09:03 AM |
