- The Pixel Watch 4 has just launched, and it will be Google’s first repairable smartwatch.
- Previously, Google would simply replace broken or faulty watches.
- With this generation, Google is opening up repairs for the Pixel Watch 4’s display and battery.
Update, August 20, 2025 (12:45 PM ET): In addition to repairs by authorized service centers, Google will also honor self-repairs. The company informed WIRED that the back plate of the Pixel Watch 4 is held together with just two screws but without any glue, and can be opened by loosening just these two T2 screws. And, doing so will not void your warranty.
Google informed WIRED that the heart rate and other sensors on the back remain connected even when the watch is opened up, and this provision is in place so anyone can replace the battery easily.
