I don’t even trust Apple to keep supporting their watches after a couple of years. Built-in obsolescence is bad enough. At the very least, these things should work until the hardware dies. Nope.

I need to charge it twice a day for ~30 minutes each, but it’s still chugging along. I think I’ll finally upgrade to the new generation this year, but at that point it will be 7 years old - which is commendable for tech.
