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.

    Would you recommend a pinetime? Controlling yt music, morning alarms, notifications, and replying to texts (if even possible) would be my main use case.

      For those use cases I don’t think I would, no.

      You can control music, but it’s very primitive and doesn’t have a home-screen widget for example. The watch itself has alarms you can set, but it won’t ring when one on your phone goes off afaik, and you can’t reply to notifications, only view them.
