The fact that s5 was created does not contradict to the fact that it is easier to get IP rating without slots and holes.

Watches can be waterproof to hundreds of meters deep and they have removable backs. It's not about the waterproofing, it's about not letting you change the battery so you have to buy a whole new phone when the battery stays dying. It's forced obsolescence.
