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.

I just wrote a post lamenting there being no suitable replacement for a pebble, this looks like it might have immediately proved me wrong! Did you ever use a pebble and would you liken the pine to one?
Never used a Pebble, sorry.
