Are there any recommended batteries to replace the OEM one with?
Hi Caleb Angell, while I can't give a specific recommendation, replacement batteries might be found using the part number: EB-BR910ABY (44 mm model) and EB-BR900ABY (40 mm model).
Is this good for the watch 5 pro too?
Hi Antonella Carletti, I think it's reasonable to assume so from a quick look at the Watch5 Pro specs and look, but I haven't handled the Watch5 Pro myself and was unable to find disassembly resources, so you should take this as more of a guess.
Thanks for your response Manuel, I'll give it a go.
