The Samsung Galaxy Watch earns a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

Display repair is prioritized.

No overlapping design of cables, no fragile ZIF connectors.

Despite the water-resistant construction, the opening procedure is straightforward and glueless (though it requires an uncommon tri-point driver).

The battery only uses mild adhesive, but the motherboard must be removed for access.

A lot of components are modular and can be replaced separately—except for the frequently-used twin button cables, which are soldered to the motherboard.

The glass digitizer and screen are fused together—meaning a full replacement will be quick and easy, but glass-only repairs will be impractical.
