Big oof: The Google Pixel Watch 3 can't be repaired, only replaced - eviltoast
There's bad news if your Pixel Watch 3 needs a new screen or another hardware fix. Google confirmed it can't actually be repaired.

TL;DR

  • Google has confirmed to us that the Pixel Watch 3 can’t be repaired and can only be replaced.
  • This is bad news for environmental reasons, suggesting that broken watches will end up in landfills.
  • This isn’t the first Pixel Watch model that can’t be repaired, though.

    I am confused, the gear s3 came out in 2016, so even 2 years ago it was already 6 years old.

    That is not what I would consider new smartwatches these days.

      Yeah my galaxy watch 6 can go 2 days on a charge. I say “can” because it does depend on usage, but it’s not a rare thing to happen.

        Huh, well I got myself a galaxy watch 6 for like $200, and so far it seems solid.

        It easily lasts a day, could probably go for 2 if I tried.
