Comment Not just a watch (Score 1) 415
If you just think of "smart watches" as watches, then of course it seems absurd to have to charge them regularly. Traditional watches don't need to be charged for years at a time because pretty much all they do is tell time. But smart watches aren't really comparable to traditional watches. The only similarity they have is that they are worn on your wrist (and can tell time).
Once you stop thinking "watch" and start thinking "tiny wearable computer", the charging isn't really an issue.
