I have an apple watch… it charges over ether and can teleport me to Mars ocasionally, on a full charge.
Can’t wait to smash it with a hammer, same as my iphone.

Nice that watches ranging from £16 to £200 already support USB-C. My two Garmin watches both have (incompatible) unique charging/data ports.
My ~~spoon~~ USB-C port is too big
eta: JFC, who wrote this?
Here is a modern smartwatch with USB C
Picture of a fucking brick with straps
Seriously, none of those "examples" are anything I would consider wearing, and I have clubs for hands
I was looking at a garment descent watch for scuba diving. They don't use usbc directly on the watch because of the water rating
This is very dumb.
Now, if it was annoyed by magnetic pogo connectors not being standard we could talk. Wireless for watches, too.
Don't watches use pads to recharge with a usbc? My samsung did.
