Im not familiar, how small can they get?
You kind of are, it's basically the same magnets+wireless combo Apple uses for their phones.
I don't know if you could use the same charger for a phone. Probably not. But it's a cross-company standard, so the idea would be to do the same for watches, if the standard doesn't include a watch option already (I haven't looked into it, frankly).
It would be a dream! And I imagine easier to repair as USB anything involves pushing and pulling a physical connector that will eventually break. It may take a long time, but anything that moves will eventually break.
