If a traditional quartz watch were powered by a modern lithium batteries like the 300–600mAh cells from modern day smartwatches. How much longer would they last?

About 10 or 20× by capacity. Practically, Li‑ion self‑discharge/BMS would cap it to only a few years (~3–6 years), not decades.

My 10-year lithium battery watch from 2007 is still going strong. The technology is already there.
