UNA Watch promotes repairable wearables to enhance sustainability

techradar.com

Creating sustainable wearables is challenging due to their small size and design, making them hard to repair. Many popular smartwatches and rings are sealed units, leading to disposability and frequent replacements, which raises sustainability concerns. UNA Watch aims to address these issues with a modular design that allows users to repair and upgrade components. This approach contrasts with major brands like Apple, which focus on carbon neutrality but often lack repairability in their devices. While Apple leads in smartwatch features and longevity, its carbon-neutral claims face scrutiny. The UNA Watch's model could inspire the industry to improve sustainability by emphasizing repairability and longevity in wearables.
