    Making something this thin and small with a replaceable battery would be very difficult. What is needed for something like this is more reliable batteries that can last for 10-20 years and 10’s of thousands of cycles.

    Something larger like a smart watch definitely should have replaceable batteries though.

      Well, then don’t? Manufacturers should be responsible for repairs, spare parts and recycling after the product is sold, so they don’t intentionally produce products that thrown into waste after a few years.
