That's fine, so long as the battery will hold a charge. They all go bad eventually. Hopefully not when you really need to start your car. It's enough to deal with a dead ignition battery...now this too?
I remember thinking that the Seiko Kinetic was a great leap forward. A quartz watch with a rotor to generate electricity to charge the battery, what a great idea. Once I found out that the capacitors needed to be changed every 3 to 5 years at a cost far greater than a standard battery, then it was, "what's the point?"
I can't see the iWatch or a Google version making it in the marketplace long-term unless it becomes essentially a replacement for a smartphone. Maybe in conjunction with the Google glasses that I've heard so much about that aren't available yet. In that case, we might as well go back to Dick Tracy's day:

Over and out.

P.S. - I'm still waiting for the flying car that they promised me as a kid.
