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.

I purchased a phone from this advertising company and they could fix it just fine when I broke it. They could fix watches, but they just think it's economically more viable to create waste

They could, and the repair and parts cost along with the back and forth shipping and paying people to actually repair then would superceed the value of the watch. Very simple math.
