Yes, it surprised me too. I've got that written on a number of watches that I never wear anymore.

I thought it would be really annoying - who wants to worry about charging a watch, right?

I was wrong. I've never really noticed it - I never have liked sleeping with a watch, so dropping in on the charger was roughly the same as what I was doing anyway.

I travel a reasonable amount, and remembering the custom charger is the only real annoyance I've found with it.

I'm old enough to remember when phones went weeks between charges. I guess we can adapt pretty easily.

To be fair, your watch can be replaced by a well crafted stick and dial combo.

And throw on a compass to align it correctly. Of course this has been done already, and you can be the proud owner of a wrist sundial for only $40! https://www.amazon.com/Sundial-Compass-Leather-Strap-C-3117/...

Infinite battery life! Eat that, user5994461's watch! ;)

Coincidentally, my watch has a compass :D

There is no place on Earth that gets sunlight 24/7 all year round.
