Smart is such a buzzword.
What's so smart about something that draws many times as much power?
Sure we can strive to do more with less power? It's been decades since this watch was first released.

Bluetooth could have such a tiny power draw if they would just have lower update rates.
I don't see any reason things like watches and tracking tags in some couldn't have 10yr life on a coin cell, or like 30 years with an LTO you charge monthly.
Deep sleep currents can be in the nanoseconds, and we only need power for a few milliseconds every minute to transmit an "I'm here" beacon.
Step counts and heart rates are different, but even that can be optimized a lot if you don't need 100% perfect data
