[title] Final Thoughts | |
- | [* black] The Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch4 Classic earns a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
- | [* green] Opening is simple and there's no need for heating but requires some prying. |
- | [* green] There are no real booby traps and a disassembly should be possible without accidentally damaging any components. |
- | [* green] Batteries and displays are easily accessible with some disassembly and the batteries are only mildly glued down. |
- | [* green] With a little bit of heating the display of the Watch4 Classic can be removed without any other tools. |
- | [* yellow] Two types of (at least magnetic) screws were used with the back cover screws being uncommon tri-point ones. |
- | [* yellow] The watches are both very modular, but some sensors are inaccessible buried in the back cover claddings. |
- | [* red] The display of the Watch4 sits stubbornly in the frame and is impossible to remove without the watch frame. The glass digitizer and screen are fused together in both models, which requires a whole display replacement even when only the display glass is broken. |
