I think the smart thing to do now is to buy products with the fewest features as possible and has decoupled components like easily replaceable batteries. I've noticed that the dumber the device is, the longer it usually lasts. I'd rather buy an analog watch than a smartwatch. I'd rather have a dumb TV than a smart TV. I'd rather have a mouse with hot swappable batteries than one with a built-in charger.

Unfortunately, analog watches don’t allow me to leave my phone at home when I go for a run and let me listen to music, take phone calls, get directions, track my speed, etc.

Why not just go for a run? You don't need to "get directions" or "track speed"... you're running not driving. If someone calls you when you're out running, call them back when you get home!

my analog watch does not prevent my to leave my phone at home :) tbh, it can not prevent me from doing anything, it's just there ticking…

My mice (and keyboards) need tails! Plug those in and keep them light, responsive, and secure.

I try to buy everything with no battery feature...never miss it...the bother of recharging and dead batteries is bigger than the bother of the cable.
