Auto charge by moving your hand

[Fitbit19972]

Do you remember old days when it was a wrist watch with automatic winding using your hand movement? So idea is very obvious: built in small eccentric rotor and generator to charge smart watch's battery. With such system you would need to charge your watch externally. I realise that it is a bit annoying filling and watch might grow a bit bigger

Hi @Fitbit19972 - with batteries needing charging so often anything to reduce the charging frequency would be useful. Some watches have solar charging.

It is possible that smart watches need so much energy that automatic generation from say 10,000 steps would not be enough to make a suffissent difference.
