It fits the 31.00 × 26.00 × 4.00mm battery bay and connects to the same flex ribbon used by the original cell. Swap it when the watch no longer holds charge through a full day of normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ Explorist Gen3 and ART5004 platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both watches run the same Snapdragon Wear 2100 platform with identical voltage rails, connector pinout, and BMS handshake — one cell covers both.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the Q Explorist Gen3 board. The fuel gauge IC registered correct capacity and the BMS held cutoff at the expected low-voltage threshold without triggering false low-battery flags.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge reset after fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After seating the new cell, place the watch on its magnetic charger immediately and charge to 100% before use. The fuel gauge IC on this platform cannot calibrate without a full charge cycle from near-zero after a cell swap — skipping this causes the percentage readout to behave erratically for days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy always-on display and continuous heart rate monitoring drain this cell hard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Q Explorist Gen3 runs an AMOLED panel and an optical HR sensor that polls continuously when activity tracking is active. Together, those two subsystems draw significantly more current than notifications and step counting alone. This 370mAh cell matches the original capacity spec — the drain pattern you see reflects how the watch is configured, not a fault with the cell. Turn off always-on display or set HR monitoring to periodic rather than continuous to reduce the draw on this platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWatch not pairing to phone after battery replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eRemoving the battery cuts power to the BLE stack entirely, which discards the active session key stored in volatile memory. The phone still shows the watch as paired, but the watch boots with no record of the previous bond. Open the Fossil app or Wear OS companion app, forget the watch from Bluetooth settings on the phone, then re-initiate pairing from the watch's Bluetooth menu. The bond re-establishes within one pairing cycle — no factory reset needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416149852250,"sku":"BWCS-DZT200SH-1","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416149885018,"sku":"BWCS-DZT200SH-2","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416149917786,"sku":"BWCS-DZT200SH-3","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DZT200SH-1.webp?v=1779760467","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/fossil-q-explorist-gen3-armani-art5004-replacement-battery-38v-370mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
