    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Google makes a big deal out of its partnership with iFixit and the availability of replacement parts for its products, but one Google product that doesn’t seem fixable is the Pixel Watch.

    After spotting some posts from Pixel Watch users seeking a remedy after cracking the glass and coming up with no clear answers, The Verge got Google to confirm that, even 11 months after launch, there is no repair plan right now.

    Google can’t fix your watch.

    The whole top half of the watch is one big glass hemisphere, so it’s not difficult to bang one of the glass corners into something and shatter the watch.

    This might all seem like it’s against the spirit of Google’s big repairability announcement in 2022, but that blog post says the program is for Pixel phones, not any of the other stuff Google sells.

    With the Pixel Watch 2 coming out soon, we’ll be sure to ask Google if there are any repair plans this time.
