"real" watches, i.e. an automatic, never need charging. even if you let it sit for days until the spring unwinds, you just put it on, shake your wrist, and it starts ticking again. my casio digitals are solar. life is too short to replace or charge watch batteries. i mean, this problem was solved nearly a century ago. the cheapest automatics are made by seiko and are barely $50. solars are cheaper. i'll never buy a smartwatch until they're one or the other. watches should not have batteries or any other design feature that renders them useless on purpose.
