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.

That would ultimately make for ugly watch that nobody would want. The Pixel Watch isn't targeting an audience who wants a utilitarian device, it's targeting people who want a watch that looks good.

It's not that it was designed in a specific way that just so happened to make it unrepairable, it's just that Google decided they will not offer repair parts.
