It is also more involved to change out a capacitor compared to a battery.

I forgot to mention that I upgraded my Apple Watch this year. I used an Apple Watch for several years now. I still have a Casio pathfinder watch that is solar powered and syncs time (though I do have to have it on my wrist when I go to bed for the sync to work). It still works fine. I've worn watches most of my life, ever since I was a little kid, so it's hard to imagine not wearing a watch. It's been a long time since I wore an analog watch.
