Some of those watches from the 1980s onwards ran 5 years on a single battery, or even had solar and need no battery replacement (or recharging) ever. Remarkable.
It still runs, although the cell seems to have aged, and now needs longer in the sun to charge. In the winter when not being worn, I have to leave it on a window ledge to get sufficient charge.
I have an Apple Watch that I get into from time to time but generally it collects dust despite how many cool functions it has. Mostly because of the battery life & lack of customization. Most of the things it tracks or does I can see or do on my phone so it feels redundant & what can't don't need to monitored continuously in my life. I daily a black LF20W-1A and I also use the A168W-1 and AE1200WHD. The faces and des…

I understand where you're coming from. On the other hand, there's a lesson to learn from the teacher's point of view as well. We always need to take a step back to understand the weakest links in security. A small piece of electrical tape or maybe even a strategically placed VHS cover could solve the issue. Hopefully, this hadn't happened again. It also comes to: should a teacher "trust" their students not to be inte…
I'd be willing to bet that's the only time the teacher had to deal with that specific skulduggery. Is it actually worth it for a teacher to spend time red-teaming basic lesson equipment? I really think not unless the teacher has reason to believe her students are particularly mischievous.
Perhaps using your watch as intended doesn't seem particularly mischievous in the moment. In this way, legitimate users/sys admins/script kiddies get into trouble because a sys admin didn't have reason to believe their users would be "particularly mischievous".

Apple Watch's killer feature is the alarm. It is so much more pleasant to be woken up silently by your watch vibrating than your phone beeping. And then knowing exactly where you can find your watch to hit snooze (on your wrist) vs reaching for your phone. That's the only feature I use my watch for. It sits on the charger all day waiting for me to wear at night.

Vibrating alarms on watches aren't unique to the Apple Watch, fwiw.
I was around 16 years in the early 90s and i bought a digital watch (different brand) with a lot of functions. I remember when I came home from the shop. My aunt was visiting. I explained that the watch could keep lap-times for two separate cars. Without her saying anything, I realized that this was totally useless and I regretted the purchase.

For me the Apple Watch killer feature is a bit embarrassing... it's the button that makes your phone ring so you can find it...

I know! That's the point! I've spent hundreds of dollars to have a vibrating alarm....
