Has anyone replaced the battery in their Bluejay GTS watch? Mine is no longer holding a charge very long and I’d rather replace the battery than the watch! Thanks!

I have not done that.
I looked at the back of mine. There are no screws that hold the back on. It’s either a snap-lock or it’s glued shut.
I’m not sure.
One way is to pry the back open.
If it’s a snap-lock, it’s all good. 
But if it’s glued, you just broke it. 
Probably best to take it to a watch repair place and ask them. It’s usually pretty cheap. Cheaper than a new one.

My battery completely died as well.
I pried a little on the back with no success.
I haven’t looked harder at it yet though. Let me know if you find something out!
Within a couple days the battery completely died on the GTS and I lost my Fibit watch… not my best of times for watches lately.
Mine is still going strong. But I charge it about a half hour every morning, so don’t know if I would catch a decline in battery life.
Just ordered a replacement watch band on Ebay.
There is a new one coming, but it’s very large. Bluejay says the chip in our GTS models will not handle the required encription processing for the G7, so the new one is a full-fledged Android Wear model. It’s in beta testing now. Needs charging at least every day.

I sent them an email to inquire and will post again when I hear something back.

That is the deal killer for me.
Otherwise I would already be in the beta for this watch.
I received a reply from one of the techs at Bluejay. The watch case cannot be opened to replace the battery.

Ugh, figures.
On that note, maybe I will destroy mine to open it.
My battery is COMPLETELY dead now, so no loss for me to ruin it trying.

OK, the back of the watch is sealed with a very basic seal. There is some type of gasket/sealant used, but only minimal.
Little soldering and a new battery should be an easy replacement, if you can pop the back off without issues.
Closest battery I found was 502020 battery

BTW, I ended up cracking my screen, or I would replace the battery.
They are cheap, almost tempted to anyways.
I haven’t found a screen replacement though.

Only partially related question—- if I needed to order a replacement charge cord for the GTS what would it be called? I’ve not seen this exact type of cord on other devices. (Possibly in adult stores…. Not entirely sure)
Did you ever get the case re-sealed and functional?
If you need one, send me a message with address. I have a couple extra I’ll send you.
No, I stopped messing with it. Shame, I liked the watch. But with it not supporting my G7, I don’t have a lot of energy for it right now.
