    Yea but can you swop out a crap battery for one that will last longer than one day?.

      The battery in the last two generation of Pixel watches lasts much longer than one day. I get around 2+ days easily on them. It’s the best smartwatch battery I have ever had, short of something like the Pebble or a Garmin. And they charge really fast.

      ​@GravageI’ve got the oneplus3 and it’s running wear os and my battery lasts 5/6 days, I think that is considerably better than the pixel watch

      @leach778 Except it’s not because it’s OnePlus.

    Impressive that’s is even possible, now apple and samsung have no excuse for their watches.

    companies only care about selling more, they don’t care about the environment or e-waste as long as they make more money. & consumers enabled them.

    Omg. This whole video sounds like an Google-AD. I expect from journalists a bit more. Google didn’t do this because of “good will”, rather than following right to repair laws, especially EU’s laws.

    • @Antenox

      June 17, 2026 at 11:45 pm

      As far as I know, the EU laws only require them to make repair services available to customers. If that’s true, then making these easily user repairable really is an admirable step that’s worth praise.

    I think it really says a lot that Google is able to make a Pixel Watch with the same looks so much more repairable. There really is no excuse for other manufacturers like Apple not to make their devices easy to repair. I would love to see this on an Apple Watch Series 12, although I doubt Apple would do this unless they were legally forced to.
