My watch runs for years from a coin cell. There's no way that I'm replacing it with an internet connected spy device that constantly needs to be charged.
If it ever comes to this, I'm going to "forget" to charge mine. Every day since it comes out of the box. I might wear it so that I don't get stopped in public but this is going to be a brick.
I'm sure soon enough we'll be "wearing" them inside our bodies so we don't have to be troubled to make sure they're working. Hasn't that been the Big Tech dream for decades now?
