Battery swap successful!

I ordered a replacement battery of eBay and followed along with the ifixit guide and somehow did not kill my probably l Pebble!

I followed the advice in the comments and did not desolder the old ribbon first but cut it and then soldered the new leeds to the PCB.

I have at best adequate skill so as long as you take your time and go slow with the adhesive it’s something that can be done.

Why Pebble?

Always-on e-paper screen (it’s reflective rather than emissive. Sunlight readable. Glanceable. Not distracting to others like a bright wrist)
Long battery life (one less thing to charge. It’s annoying to need extra cables when traveling)
Simple and beautiful user experience around a core set of features (telling time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleep/step tracking)
Buttons! (to play/pause/skip music on my phone without looking at the screen)
Hackable (apparently you can’t even write your own watchfaces for Apple Watch? That is wild. There were >16k watchfaces on the Pebble appstore!)
