Una Watch Offers 10-Day Battery Life With $40 User-Replaceable Parts

Summary
ZDNET found the Una Watch’s standout feature is repairability: users can swap its 280 mAh battery for $40 and 1.2-inch MIP display for $50 with basic screwdrivers.
That modular design targets smartwatch e-waste, since typical devices last only three to five years and are often replaced even sooner.
On fitness basics, the watch delivered accurate GPS and heart-rate tracking in testing, supports six core activity modes, and syncs data with Strava through Apple and Android apps.
The trade-offs are clear: no sleep tracking or HRV, an IPX5 rating that limits water use, and a sunlight-friendly MIP screen that looks weaker than premium AMOLED displays.
ZDNET said the watch’s long-term appeal will depend on whether Una expands promised replaceable modules and software support beyond today’s basic but affordable setup.
