Even a $40 Casio will still be working good as new in 10 years with less than $5 in parts & labor. Your $400 smart watch will be literal garbage because its battery is nonreplaceable.

minus-squareradiant_bloom@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoLast 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.
