Because Google's, Apple's and Microsoft's accounts specifically are tied to their particular browser and/or OS, not just the websites you're on. So are Firefox accounts but they probably don't have the numbers

From what I've seen, there's not much to re -learn. Everything is in the same place as it was before, it's just that the layout is clunky and does not look that good.

Because it's well known enough. 200g is the heavier end, sure, but 100g seems pretty light for a wristwatch anyway. The Seiko 5 is one of the lightest watches at about 70 grams, and that thing is tiny. That's to say, the Seamaster
