You can easily disassemble this repairable smartwatch using just a Phillips screwdriver


The Specta might be easier to open than a bag of airplane snacks.

Small devices like wearables and earbuds typically have batteries that are notoriously difficult to swap, but like Fairphone’s Fairbuds, maybe the Spectra will encourage other companies to change that. The Pocuter team “plans to provide replacement options for every single part,” it told iFixit, which shared just how easy an unassembled prototype of the smartwatch is to build and later disassemble. It won’t have access to Apple or Google’s robust app stores, so taking full advantage of the Spectra may benefit from some coding experience, not just basic screwdriver skills.
