Azores said on the panel, "Watches and wearables are still fairly nascent and we are thinking through how to make this repairable. We're thinking about repairability on a broader scale, not just on phones and tablets, and we want to make sure that all of our products eventually become repairable. I think watches being so new as a category, there are some design elements that need to be considered on how we make them repairable."
The lack of repairability highlights the company's inexperience in the smartwatch space. Unlike Apple or Samsung, which have established repair services for their watches, Google's approach means a consumer must replace the entire device if it breaks.
