Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.::With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.

Just watch a tutorial of someone who does know what he's doing

That way you can at least try.

Also they shouldn't have released a watch that is that unrepairable in the first place

That would ultimately make for ugly watch that nobody would want. The Pixel Watch isn't targeting an audience who wants a utilitarian device, it's targeting people who want a watch that looks good.

It's quite easy to remove the screen on a Pixel Watch actually.

It's not that it was designed in a specific way that just so happened to make it unrepairable, it's just that Google decided they will not offer repair parts.
