The sole remedy for a broken Pixel Watch has been to replace the entire thing. <\/p>\n<p>The policy stayed in place <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/08\/20\/google-pixel-watch-3-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Pixel Watch 3<\/a>, but Google <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2024\/09\/25\/google-pixel-watch-repairable-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said last year<\/a> during a climate-focused conference that it was \u201cthinking\u201d about how to match a repairable Pixel Watch in the future.<\/p>\n<p>It seems the company is following up on that with the Pixel Watch 4. Android Headlines claims that Google has made changes to Pixel Watch 4 that allow for repairs to the smartwatch, saying that it can \u201cbe taken apart and serviced when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s the extent of what we know right now.<\/p>\n<p>The report doesn\u2019t mention what repairs are possible, what changes Google has made to make this possible, or any other details. It\u2019s just a simple claim that it can \u201cbe taken apart\u201d and repaired. Presumably this would include the two key repairs you\u2019d need from a smartwatch, including the replacement of a broken display (or the glass on top), as well as a battery replacement. We\u2019ll have to wait on Google\u2019s full reveal to learn more, but this is news we\u2019re certainly glad to hear, even if we do wish there were a few more details.<\/p>\n<p>Google this week confirmed an August 20 event to launch its new Pixel lineup, including its latest smartwatch.<\/p>\n<p>More on Google Pixel:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After launching three generations of smartwatches that can\u2019t be repaired, Google is reportedly making changes to the Pixel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[1685,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-269597","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114869195524431906","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
