I mean, I get a full week from my coros pace 2, with 5-6h of GPS cardio tracking (running) and 24h metrics (steps, stress, sleep, etc.) on a 310mAh battery. It takes a whopping 2h to recharge back to full, I would hate having to manage a tiny extra battery to save those 2h of not wearing my watch.
Every device with extra swappable batteries that I’ve used has a charging station that you can just keep the extra battery in. Not really anything to “manage”, it just effectively removes charging time from the equation.
These watches typically come with charging cables, not a docking style station that you put them in. And keeping devices at a perpetual full charge for expended periods of time is a surefire way to kill the capacity quickly.
I don’t see how that should be much of an issue. a tight seal since the connector would face each other and basically be internal or just right out induction.
seems like having a removable backplate battery would fix that.

each his own. 2mins each morn to swap whats in the charger and whats on the device vs waiting 2hrs once a week. ill take the swap.
The trouble with that is that, more so than any other electronic device (even including my smartphone), waterproofness is an essential requirement.
