Since the power generation performance can be improved without increasing the device size, the technology is expected to generate power to drive small wearable devices from non-steady vibrations by Wagamaga

Mechanical watches are still very much a thing.

I am sure you have heard of Rolex?

I guess that most people don't realize that the vast majority of nice watches still function in exactly this way. Sorry for upsetting you all by bringing it up.

Mechanical watches exist across the affordability spectrum. Take a look at Seiko fives for stylish and well engineered mechanicals.

Then I would have had to explain watches even further to people that obviously don't understand them because I couldn't just say "the vast majority".

With those seikos costing a few hundred dollars to start, most people that don't know mechanical watches wind themselves would see them as nice watches.
