I'll take one servicing in that period over replacing my watch every 3-5 (2-4?) years as the software becomes obsolete and all support vanishes into the myopica

I'll take one servicing in that period over replacing my watch every 3-5 (2-4?) years as the software becomes obsolete and all support vanishes into the myopically short tech upgrade cycle. It's why I say 'essentially' unsupervised and 'essentially' forever. The point of comparison with smartwatches is so far to the other extreme that I believe the language is largely justified.
