Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.::With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.

Same with the Google Nest Hub.

It cost me around $600 and has a known splash-screen issue which I just woke up to one morning.

No fix available when it happens. Nothing I did caused it. I just had to bin it.

It’s either planned obsolescence or just shitty design.
