This is super dependent on the watch itself, watch batteries aren’t inherently unreplaceable.

If your problem is e-waste, disposable vapes are by far a larger contributor than a single watch that someone will use for years before buying a new one.

My problem isn’t with either. I am just stating that your average Smart Watch isn’t going to be worth anything in 10 years. There is the battery itself, then the fact that software at best is supported for 3 maybe 4 years, hardware support may or may not exist.

They are inherently disposable while a Rolex, and most watches actually are capable, if not intended, to be heritage pieces capable of surviving decades.

It’s not Apples to Apples.

If you are buying expensive jewelry to hold value that’s fine, but that’s not what everyone is doing or wants. If you don’t care about e-waste then frankly I’m not sure why you care what other people spend their money on.
