There's currently a Kickstarter going on for a watch that aims to be modular and repairable. It's called UNA Watch.

Look interesting, but imo with these things it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, where the upgradeability/repairability only has value, if it is actually provided in the future (and economically viable). Something that can only be proven in time, but requires people to trust it before.

I'm not in the market for a new watch right now, since I just repaired the screen on my Garmin, but am keeping an eye on it, since sadly Garmin seems to have entered the early stages of enshittification.
