How is Apple any different? IIRC Apple watches have an abysmal repairability score too.

If anything, Apple is in general the worst on this particular metric. Switching to Apple because you had a repairability problem with another brand is kinda funny.

I haven't had an issue with Apple, but it's only been 3.5 years.

Are there stories where Apple straight up said they wouldn't repair a watch? I thought they'd repair it even if the repairs were more the the replacement value.
