The dial body 1 is provided with a toggle switch 3 on the other side of the battery compartment that is adapted to each of the two second hooks 27. During installation, first, align the end of the back cover power supply component 2 with the first hooks 26 with the end of the dial body 1 with the locking groove. Then, press the other end of the back cover power supply component 2 so that its second hooks 27 are fixed together with the toggle switch 3. After locking the back cover power supply component 2 and the dial body 1, the installation is convenient and quick.

[0023] In this utility model, the dial body 1 is provided with an assembly cavity 13 adapted to the toggle switch 3 and a limiting cover plate 4 covering the assembly cavity 13. A compression spring 32 is provided between one end of the toggle switch 3 and the assembly cavity 13, which can drive the toggle switch 3 to reset. The toggle switch 3 is provided with a limiting plate 31 that can lock the two second hooks 27. The limiting cover plate 4 is provided with a sliding groove for accommodating the toggle switch 3 and a fixing hole corresponding to the position of the two second hooks 27. The limiting cover plate 4 is a metal cover plate to ensure the fixing strength.

[0024] In this invention, a spring-loaded pin 15 is provided at each end of the assembly cavity 13 on the main body of the dial. When the control switch 3 is activated to open the power supply assembly 2 of the back cover, it can be lifted by the spring-loaded pin 15, making it easy to remove the power supply assembly 2 of the back cover by hand. When installing the power supply assembly 2 of the back cover, only a little force is needed to press it down.

[0025] In this utility model, the fixing frame 22 is provided with a plurality of first fastening positions at one end near the rear cover 21, the rear cover 21 is provided with a plurality of second fastening positions respectively adapted to the plurality of first fastening positions, and the fixing frame 22 is also provided with locking screws threadedly connected to the rear cover 21, which can ensure a reliable connection between the fixing frame 22 and the rear cover 21.

[0028] In this invention, the inner side of the rear cover 21 is provided with multiple first positioning posts, and the end of the fixing frame 22 away from the rear cover 21 is provided with two second positioning posts. Both ends of the power supply flexible cable 24 are respectively provided with multiple first positioning holes adapted to the multiple first positioning posts and two second positioning holes adapted to the two second positioning posts. This ensures the stable positioning of the power supply flexible cable 24.

[0029] In this utility model, the main body of the dial 1 is provided with two third positioning posts on the outside of the assembly cavity 13, and the limiting cover 4 is provided with two third positioning holes that are respectively adapted to the two third positioning posts, so as to facilitate the installation and positioning of the limiting cover 4.

[0030] In this utility model, the main body 1 of the dial is also provided with a display screen 12 electrically connected to the main circuit board 11.

[0031] In this invention, the battery 23 is fixedly connected to the back cover 21 and is replaced simultaneously during battery replacement. This ensures that the replaced battery 23 and the watch can share a charger, eliminating the need for a separate charger to directly charge the battery 23. In other words, the watch can be charged directly using the same charger, or the replaced back cover power supply component 2 can be charged separately. This significantly reduces costs.

[0032] This invention, by incorporating a detachable back cover power supply component 2, allows for quick and easy battery swapping when the watch runs out of power. This enables the watch to rapidly resume functionality without the need for lengthy charging times, ensuring continuous use and significantly enhancing the user experience.
