There are diver watches with replaceable batteries. Probably most of them in fact. The reason these irreplaceable batteries became popular isn't because they're more waterproof, it's because it's just easier to do. Still perfectly possible to have decently waterproof phone with a replaceable battery. It's not like we didn't have such phones back in the day.
