Split brand: the Pixel Watch 4 scored 9/10 — 'the most repairable smartwatch on the market' — with Google offering OFFICIAL repair parts and instructions and gasket-based (not adhesive) water resistance; this is the only official OEM parts/manual program among any brand graded here and is exactly what RTR rewards. But Pixel Buds remain poor: Pixel Buds Pro 2/10 (earbuds epoxied), A-Series 3/10 (soldered batteries), Pixel Buds 2a 4/10 (glued buds despite a repairable case), and the 1st-gen Pixel Watch was only 4/10. The strong watch program offsets the weak earbuds to a D.

Google partners with iFixit to sell genuine parts for every Pixel since the Pixel 2 and publishes free public service manuals (widely praised as best-in-class documentation), plus a privacy-preserving Repair Mode and on-device diagnostics. iFixit scored the Pixel 8 at 6/10 (v1.6); the Pixel 9 'dual-entry' design is provisionally ~5/10 under the stricter v2.0 rubric — battery glue and a soldered charge port still hurt. Parts are reasonably priced 'with no strings.' PIRG 2026 grades Google C- (second-best of the four majors). Lands a solid D on the equal-weight composite. No true board schematics published.
