not sure if that is really a user replacement thing


will surely void the warranty but with a s2 model that old warranty would no longer be a thing


try reading Apple Watch Battery Replacement - iFixit Repair Guide


more apple watch replace battery - Google-


that being said it's an 10 years old model and will not support the newer watchOS versions and nor likely many apps

Better make sure the extra battery is good. Sitting there for 6 years it could loose its capacity.


I have an Watch series 6 which has battery a bit less than 80% which Apple says is the time to replace it. When I asked about a replacement they said it was $99. However, for some models they said they may replace the entire watch with a refurbished one.


Just some food for thought.
