If you've considered getting an Apple Watch (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/09/apple-watch-edition-hands-on/), you've probably wondered about what happens when that battery eventually runs dry. Surely Apple would have a way to keep your timepiece running for more than a couple of years, right? Yes, it does. The company has confirmed (http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/10/the-apple-watch-battery-is-replaceable/?ncid=rss) to TechCrunch that the battery "is replaceable" -- by Apple, that is. There's no mention of how much a replacement costs when you're out of warranty (we've reached out to learn more), but a quick look at the fine print (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-watch/apple-watch?product=MJ3Y2LL/A&step=detail#) on product pages shows that you'll get in-warranty coverage if your battery has lost 50 percent or more of its capacity. That could be an issue if you depend on the Watch often, since the battery life may become unacceptably short before you qualify for a free fix.
