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.

This isn't exclusive to Pixel Watches. The repair cost is about the same (~$300) for most comparable devices. Same with Apple's and Samsung's watches. The only real difference here is that Google acknowledges (at least, indirectly) that it's a more economic option to just buy a new one, because that's just how the math works out.
