My analog watch never needs a charge and always tells the time. My corded headphones never need a charge and always work. What's the point of smartwatches and wireless headphones with these new features and convenience if they risk sacrificing reliability and even the ability to turn on and stay on?

It's starting to bother me that as part of my bedtime routine I have to go down a checklist of everything that needs to be charged for the night if I want to use it the next day. The fundamentals with smartwatches and wireless headphones simply aren't there yet.

Wireless headphones are a pain to set up with wi-fi and bluetooth or whatever, a pain to maintain, and a pain to remember to charge. Plus they're expensive. Corded headphones are easy to find if dropped, never need to be charged, and are the easiest to set up since all you need to do is plug them in a port.

Smartphones have all these nifty Inspector Gadget features, but ultimately no one cares and just uses their phone. Google Maps for Apple Watch was discontinued, Amazon app for Apple watch was discontinued, as well as many others.

I appreciate the need for growth and innovation. But not when it comes at the cost of convenience and reliability.
