Dude, 2 years is nothing. Let's talk about 10 years.

Fair comment. My point is that this watch will probably last 5+ years which in absolute in not that bad. Compared to Apple or Samsung, that's much better.

You should consider that bad. The average smartwatch is what, $250? Every 5 years? That's nuts. I realize we have to put up with it because we have no choice, but we shouldn't have to.

Paying $50/yr. for the value a smartwatch delivers is a fucking bargain.
