    Sealed devices have way better water resistance

    My dive computer has a user replaceable battery, and it’s waterproof to more than 250ft.

    This is just a non-argument to me.

        The fact that you’d want a dive computer to be waterproof beyond 3 feet might have something to do with that, though.

            Barely.

            It doesn’t even have to be easily replaceable as in: on the go, so that I can switch out batteries during the day. That’s really not important to me.

            It just has to be user replaceable, so that I can switch it out at home, with normal tools, when the battery has degraded so much that the phone becomes unusable.

            As things are, i have to throw a disproportionate amount of money at some shop to switch out a $10 part, or risk breaking the screen and digitizer when I disassemble the phone with a suction cup and hot gun, just so I can get at the glued down battery.

            That’s just ridiculous to me.
