Mine are lasting years, most devices should have rechargable batteries but TV remotes are at the very bottom of the list.

Did you prefer when ylur watch was not rechargeable but lasting 2-3 years or when it is but last barely a day?

Also, many battery devices should not even exist in the first place, the amount of garbage produced like stupid deco lights for kids of the poorest quality and useless gadgets "just for fun" that loose interest after 5 uses.
