  • Samsung Gear Fit Repairability Score: 6 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

  • While it's a bit of work, users can replace their own battery, greatly extending the useful life of the Fit.

  • Watch band can be removed and replaced in seconds.

  • The display is the first component out, easing repair of the most-likely-broken component, but still requires melting adhesive and prying.

  • Low modularity—peripheral components (home switch, antenna, and vibrator motor) are soldered onto the main board and not individually replaceable without soldering.

  • The unibody design means any repairs require trucking through the display removal procedure first, risking damage to the LCD.
