My Pixel Watch top just popped off (lemmy.ca)

(not sure if pixel watches are allowed but...) Dog what the fuck??? I have never dropped it or thrown it down... I was thinking of glueing it back down but I can't find if this has ever happened to anyone else because online search is borderline useless now.

A quick guess: the lithium battery has puffed up a bit and pushed the top off. If it's hot where you are that probably won't help. Yesterday I accidentally left my phone in the sun and when I retrieved it the poor thing looked like my sourdough - I was lucky it didn't cause a fire. Same goes for your watch: if battery is damaged be extra careful.

Ah, I admittedly didn't look very close at the watch or my wrist and assumed the glue fucked up. Looking again it does seem to be bulging a little

You probably already know this but don't wear that thing. Google will probably overnight you a new one and a fireproof box for that one. I'm sure they don't want stories of them exploding on people's wrists floating around.

The bulge is pretty apparent in the photo.

Plus atmospheric heat isn't enough to make the adhesive fail - who would choose such an adhesive? They'd have failures where it's normally hot, like the US Southwest.

Sun load can heat such things significantly, manufacturers use adhesives for such conditions.

That does look like a spicy pillow to me.
