    I'm not discounting the negatives - I'm saying it is possible and feasible.

    As I point out in the article, the Pixel watch is now on its third charging format. None of which seem to be compatible with Apple or Samsung.

    There are also compromises with the pogo-pin connector. You can't charge while wearing it. You have to bring along another cable. Bits of metal can be attracted to the magnets and cause mechanical or electrical damage.
