You are completely wrong. I own a GA-400 (Though not in that godawful color scheme) and have been in its guts numerous times.
As you can clearly see, its case is solid plastic with metal screws through the back that go directly into said plastic. So do you intend to retract your BS statement or continue to profess obvious lies?
Lies and cope.
A quick look at replacing a sealed phone's battery shows otherwise.
The gent has to jump through some insane hoops to get it open but you can clearly see a dearth of exposed electronics once he finally gets that case cracked open. In fact there appears to be an entire second plastic case inside the first case that would provide nearly all the insulation needed even if the first case were metal. There would be no issues wrapping some steel around it and adding a gram or two of plastic to cover any tiny bits and bobs left.
All of which have inferior features, a great many are bare-bones models designed for emergencies that can't do anything but call. Why?
Well, there are some interesting facts to look at.

79% of Americans add a protective case to toughen up their phones. This is an exceedingly weird situation if people actually want slim lightweight phones, because somehow we have to believe that people want these thin, light, easily broken phones yet four out of five people immediately go and wrap some armor around it to make it bulkier and harder to break. A supermajority of users quite obviously don't want those phones and are doing their best to mod the phones into what they do want, tougher bulkier ones they can't get, yet the market is not accommodating them, which is deeply suspicious and suggests market manipulation, possibly by a cabal or oligopoly.
No, they absolutely don't. I changed watch batteries and repaired broken watches for a living for close to ten years.
It's exceedingly unlikely any digital wristwatch would use an SR626SW (also called a 377 because even the names of watch batteries aren't standardized for the same battery). I can't say it's physically impossible but I'd be extremely surprised and have never encountered one. Those don't have enough voltage (They're commonly used in cheap Chinese watches but are uncommon everywhere else, whatever site you got your data off misled you), nearly all digital watches need one with at least twice the voltage of a 377. The G-Shock I showed above uses a pair of 399s because a single one can't give them enough charge (and they're bigger than 377s), you certainly wouldn't be able to run one off of a 377.
