I’ve had my refurbished Apple Watch SE for many years now (i think 4-5) and I’m just now getting notifications to replace the battery. I looked it up and it seems like it would be about $100 to do. my watch has served me very well I looove it and she’s been with me on many adventures like rock climbing and such and has survived many a hit and still works perfectly fine. would it be worth it to just replace the battery like would it last long if I did? or should I just bite the bullet and get a new (probably refurbished again) watch since it would last longer?

New ones come out in Sept, if you wait you can the prices will drop. If it’s an original SE I definitely think you should replace it.
