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.

If you want simplicity and something between a smart and dumb watch, check out PineTime. The battery on mine lasts for about 8-10 days.

It has basic features like notifications, timers, and step counter. You can also customize the UI.
