Exclusively: Google Pixel Watch 4 Teardown offers easy repair

There are T2 screws located under the pocket of the watch tape – it cannot reach these screws, and you can access the interior from the pixel 4, no need for noise with any adhesive materials. At this point, the center of the biological sensor, which includes the heart rate screen and other sensors on the back of the watch, is still connected. Google intentionally did not need to remove this conductor to replace the battery. Kyle Winz, CEO of the company IfixitHe says that these types of conductors can be a partnership with Google to sell spare parts for the watch, these types can be fragile, so it is always better for you to design the device to replace the ingredients without the need to separate them.

To remove the battery, remove the HAPTIC engine with the head of T2 on the Torx screwdriver. Other nails hold the battery, but as soon as you leave, you can separate the battery from the plate and are implemented. You will notice that Google has used T2 nails throughout this entire process. This is intended, where you can use the same Torx screwdriver to replace the battery, which reduces the number of tools needed for repairs.

To replace the screen, you will need to separate the vital sensor axis. Then separate the battery arches, separate the screen connector, and loosen the four nails carrying the glass on the housing. (This is a mixture of T2 and T5 nails.) In general, it looked somewhat simple, and it took a garden less than 13 minutes to remove these ingredients while talking about the process and answering my questions.

Francis Hui, director of the first producer of Pixel Watch, says Watch Pixel 4 should keep IP68 Water Resistance Classification After service. The Silicon O ring helps create a seal when two halves of the watch are placed together. Hoe, who has been on the product since The Pixel Watch 2, says that Google has always wanted to make Smartwatch repairs. “It took us a little longer to reach this place – it takes a lot of change internally in the product; and these types of changes in large architecture take several years.”

Reform in

Watch Pixel 4 design changes are a big step forward to fix smart watches. Although you can replace some ingredients in the Apple Watch or Galaxy, they are not easy to fix yourself.

(the Pixel Watch 3 I got 4/10) Galaxy Watch Ultra Out of a respectable 7/10 on Ifixit) But this does not include the battery for safety reasons.
