It would be an important upgrade, even if it is not flashy. This glass dome on Google watches only asks to be cracked or striped – it is standard gorilla glass rather than sapphire glass that you see on Apple and Samsung watches. For the first three models, a cracked screen or a dissolution glue on the bottom meant that the watch was indeed the electronic waste. Even if you were ready to pay Google to repair it, it was not an option.
Google has never had a satisfactory response for this approach to portable devices. Instead of repairs, he offered a protective plan, which guaranteed you a replacement watch if yours was damaged. For $ 4 per month and $ 49 per incident, Google would simply send a new watch. And it would actually be new; There are no officially renovated pixel watches because Google does not repair them.
Not supporting repairs was a bizarre decision for a company that so often promotes its commitment to sustainability. Google sometimes fell below these ideals, perhaps more particularly with the defective batteries in its pixel phones in the A series. But it is at least theoretically an unpredictable result. Google intentionally designed Pixel watches so that they could not be repaired.
Google should never have published a single watch that could not be repaired, and even less three of them. Hopefully this report is exact, and Google will repair this evil well with the Pixel 4 watch.
