      This is super dependent on the watch itself, watch batteries aren’t inherently unreplaceable.

      If your problem is e-waste, disposable vapes are by far a larger contributor than a single watch that someone will use for years before buying a new one.

          If you are buying expensive jewelry to hold value that’s fine, but that’s not what everyone is doing or wants. If you don’t care about e-waste then frankly I’m not sure why you care what other people spend their money on.

      Last time I checked replacing the battery cost $60

      Also, I can buy new smart watches every time the battery gets used up, or updates stop coming ; and at the end of my life I won’t even be halfway to a Rolex’s price tag.

      The Casio though, that is a good deal.
