how you know it is junk have you used one yet, I know the answer to that, no you have not since even the one in the stores run a demo program not the actually functional one. I like how people are ready to declare something as non-usable or junk when they never even used it.
Personally I am in a wait and see state with the Apple Watch. The fact that Apple is marketing as a fashion item not tech i suspect they realize that people will expect it to be usable well beyond the standard 2 to 3 yrs of everyday tech product.
Not sure what the cost to replace the battery will be, but I have a watch that cost $10 to replace the battery and another which cost $50 due to the process to unseal and reseal the unit. It is all relative. I would also expect the apple watch to have it battery replaced in 5+ yrs since it most likely to have a charge/discharge cycle around 2500 cycles which most batteries have if you properly charge them.
