Yes, I do. Reluctantly. I am a confirmed Luddite and grumpy old curmudgeon, and the only thing I do with the phone is carry it with me as an emergency device when hiking in the mountains, and occasionally it makes noise and I take it out and talk to someone, and very occasionally take it out unbidden and talk to someone else.

I must have looked at my bare wrist 50 times the other day when I did not have my watch. Fortunately, I was able to resuscitate it. When I reassembled it, it did not seal properly (the little O-ring gasket was worn and stretched enough it didn't fit properly in its channel) and got wet inside when I showered. I dried it out, it came back to life, and I reassembled it, this time with some RTV silicone to help out the gasket.

The original battery lasted seven years. I may be good for another seven.
