    Watches can be waterproof to hundreds of meters deep and they have removable backs. It’s not about the waterproofing, it’s about not letting you change the battery so you have to buy a whole new phone when the battery stays dying. It’s forced obsolescence.

      Are you trying to argue that having unreplacable battery simplifies reaching of water resistance? Seriously?

      Regarding the watches: these watches do not have many slots you can open without a screwdriver. moreover, officially you are recommended to change the battery in the official service center not yourself, and still you are also recommended to do a periodic service to maintain WR.
