This isn't true. Smartwatches have had full HD h.264 and 720p h.265 hardware decode since at least 2014. https://www.slideshare.net/jjwu6266/qualcomm-snapdrag

  They do, but how many viewing hours do you get from a single battery charge?

    The decoding is probably in the same order of magnitude as listening to music from your watch. The screen brightness is the limiting factor. Based on always-on displays on the Apple Watch you are probably looking at 8 hours or so? So decoding with the screen on might be 5 hours?

      The always-on display drops power usage by being quite dim and reducing the update frequency to 1 Hz. 24-60 Hz video will draw way more power
