    Actually, there are completely mechanical self-winding watches. They’ll never need a battery as long as you wear them occasionally.

      This is one of those things that has no impact on my normal day to day, but is still absolutely mind blowing any time it comes up

      I went this route a year or so ago. Wait, that was three years ago now? I should have never checked.

      I’ve owned a few smart watches over the years and got tired of things failing. Bands splitting (remember the Microsoft band?), batteries degrading, cases splitting due to swollen batteries, etc.

      The only downside is that straight analog watches will drift some over long enough time periods, so you will occasionally need to adjust them by a minute or two.
