Sure, but I wear watches to tell the time or (mainly) as a fashion accessory. Not as an object to donate to a museum someday...

And 200 years from now, I'm sure there will be a few Apple Watches in museums as well. And some Casios too.




I wonder how many of these Casios and Apple watches will be in working order, and as functional as day one.


Museums don't operate objects that are 200 years old, so it doesn't really matter.

But also, it's not like a mechanical watch is going to work for 200 years without maintenance and repair either. Lubrication, springs, bearings... these all degrade over time.
