OG Pebble Steel 190Mah Battery Upgrade

Just a quick write-up and photos of a 190Mah battery upgrade in an OG Pebble Steel. It appears that I get about 9 days usage. I'm past 216 hours of screen on at this point after a full charge and still showing 14% battery. pictured is the 2nd watch I've upgraded now. The first one I left the protection circuitry on the battery, the second watch I removed it to save a bit of space. I'm not seeing any bowing out of the back cover but the carrier frame does bow out a bit on each side. The back cover has gone on fairly easily both times and the backlight is even on both as well.

Most of the install is same as smaller batteries. You don't need to remove the on-battery circuitry but it does help make things fit easier. The watch that I didn't remove it on I had to struggle a bit to fit in the rumble motor. Nothing really else to note so far, I'll being going into my second charge cycle on the first watch later tonight.

Edit:

Forgot to mention but I taped up the new battery after I took the pictures/video. If you remove the original tape you should replace it, you wouldn't want the battery shorting out.
