My Moto 360 2nd gen smartwatch died earlier this year. I’ve been missing having the convenience of looking at alerts on my wrist rather than having to check my phone constantly. At first the watch had just started dying rapidly, within an hour or two of putting it on, but then it got to the point where it was unusable. Even on the charger at full charge, the device would get stuck in a reboot loop.
I was excited to see the 3rd generation came out this year (or was it late last year?), and was considering pulling the trigger, but for now at least I’m resisting shelling out the $300.
Thanks to this guide and a replacement battery from iFixit, I was able to bring the watch back to life! Yay!
