They quote different prices to replace batteries vs other repairs, so I suspect that the process is:
if(dirty || badBattery || badAccessories) { repair() }
else { recycle() }
And they also mention for other products that include new housings, which they don't say for the Apple Watch. So I suspect that cracking them open for anything more than a battery replacement would make labor exceed the cost of the entire unit. Because these are relatively cheap devices that are labor intensive to work on.
