I have looked all over the internet but can't find an answer. Can you change the battery used in Steel HR? I am worried that if I buy the watch it will be useless in 2 years as the battery would start to lose it's capacity if I can't get the battery replaced.

    I bought the Steel HR last year and I can tell that the battery is not replaceable. The watch has a a built-in battery and it is rechargeable. So far the battery life of my watch is still good after using it for one year.

    I don't think you should worry much about the battery ageing.

    Since one charge can go for 20-25 days the number of charge cycles (main factor of battery lifetime) will increase so slowly that it shouldn't be an issue (one cycle is full 100% capacity change, so if you charge from 50-100% then it's not full cycle but charging one day from 20 - 80 and next time from 40 - 80 would together constitute to 1 cycle). 

    Li batteries generally like to be kept between 20% - 80% charged (so it's not a good idea to let them run to 0% and it is a good idea to take away from charger before they reach 100%)
