EU exempted battery regulation but not for smart wearables

EU exempted battery regulation, and by 2027, most electronic devices will use user-replaceable batteries. But this law does not apply to wearables such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, and electric toys. Dont you think they should apply to wearables too, to reduce battery waste concerns?

I think wearables should be included too. As they are produced in large numbers, sealed batteries will create a lot of e-waste.

Right! But many manufacturers have argued that they need to redesign the devices, especially with wearables. So, that is why it is only applicable to laptops and smartphones.
