Introduction

Use this guide to replace the rear case on your LG G Watch.

Spring bars attach the two halves of the wristband to the watch body. The spring bar has a shoulder on either end.
Be prepared to apply some pressure with your fingers to perform the following action.
First, slide the wristband down on the spring bar to expose the shoulder of the spring bar.
Grasp the exposed shoulder with the tweezers to perform the next step.

Is there a reason you are removing the straps before the back of the watch? They don't block the back from coming off or really get in the way much.

its in the way, obviously it need to take them off, lol.

Where can I get this battery?

where can i buy a new replacement rear case? please let me know!

I'd like to know as well and don't care if it's a knock off either

This is a challenging step. Do it carefully to prevent the spring bar from flying out of the wristband.
Use the tweezer to depress the spring bar so that it collapses by a few millimeters and pops out of the hole that was holding it in place.
Now carefully pull the other end of the spring bar to detach the wristband from the watch face.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other wristband.
