    Too bad ‘smart’ watches are still dumb because you can’t replace the battery easily and have to basically trash it. ‘smart’ is actually dumb for the end user…

      That covers a lot of small consumer electronics. Basically anything rechargeable: wireless headphones, earbuds, phones, fitness trackers, razors, etc.

      I really wish replaceable rechargeable batteries were a thing.

      I had a Pixel Watch for a few months, but man constantly having to recharge it. Eventually, I felt like I’m the one being smart, planning, doing this extra work and for what? I went back to a regular watch.
