LG G Watch Receives the iFixit Teardown Treatment and Turns Out Easy to Repair

[dgstorm]

The LG G Watch was "treated" to the iFixit repairability test, dissection-style. The teardown revealed that the device is surprisingly easy to repair, scoring a 9 out of 10 on their scale. Here's a quote with the summary,

LG G Watch Repairability Score: 9 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

• Screws and spring contacts mean the rear case is super easy to remove.
  
  
• The battery is held in with a single Phillips screw and minimal adhesive, making replacement easy.
  
  
• Not the easiest watch band to remove, but an old standard that shouldn't pose much of a threat to band-replacers.
  
  
• Clean design with few fragile cables and connectors means a more robust, repair-ready device.
  
  
• A fused display assembly, glued into the front of the device, makes screen replacement a little difficult and costly.

Their disassembly also revealed that the device uses Qualcomm's SoC. Does this change your perspective of this device?
