Use this guide to replace the vibration motor in your Google Pixel Watch 4.

If your watch is making inconsistent or weak vibrations, or isn't vibrating at all, it may be time to replace the vibration motor.

This guide was written using a 41 mm LTE model Pixel Watch 4. While some photos may contain slight visual discrepancies, procedures for all 41 mm and 45 mm models are functionally the same.

    • Before starting your repair:

    • Throughout the rest of your repair, consider placing your watch on something soft like a clean cloth to help stabilize it and prevent scratches to the front glass.

    • Use a Torx Plus 2IP screwdriver to remove the 3.0 mm‑long screw from both watch band grooves (two screws total).

    • Both screws have a tiny O‑ring. If they don't lift away with the screw, use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove them from the band groove and set them aside. These O-rings are required to maintain waterproofing.

    • Handle these O-rings carefully. Avoid pinching or slicing them with your tool.

    • During reassembly:

    • Make sure the O‑rings are on the screws before installing them.

    • Push down firmly on the back glass while installing the screws to make sure the glass gets properly seated.

    • If there's a gap between the back glass and frame, remove the screws and reinstall them.

    • Insert the point of a spudger (or a clean fingernail) into the seam between the back sensor glass and frame and pry up until the cover detaches.

    • Optionally, you can disconnect the back glass to give you more room to work—though you can complete the repair just fine with it still connected.

    • Use a Torx Plus 2IP screwdriver to remove the two 2.2 mm‑long screws securing the vibration motor.
