At the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Cambridge Consultants introduced the Ouroboros smartwatch prototype—a revamped iteration of the Garmin Fenix 7. This innovative timepiece places a strong emphasis on repairability. It boasts a redesigned internal architecture equipped with a hinge mechanism. This mechanism facilitates effortless opening of the watch while still preserving its waterproof capabilities, allowing users to easily access and replace the battery located beneath the back cover.

The head of sustainable design at the company remarked that modern consumers anticipate brands to prioritize sustainability. They expect products that are not only repairable but also have an extended lifespan. Such an approach serves a dual purpose: it curtails the buildup of electronic waste and strikes a harmonious balance between environmental preservation and commercial viability.
