I refuse to wear a watch that lasts less than 24 hours on a charge. And it undermines health tracking if you have to take it off for an hour plus to recharge.
That’s why I use a “dumb” watch. It tells me the time just fine, and will last years before I have to replace the battery.
My wife has an Apple watch and has to charge it every day. It would drive me absolutely nuts. There’s been times where it’s run out mid-workout or during a long walk. Meanwhile my Garmin Forerunner can go 2 weeks on a single charge.
I used to be worried about that, but I’ve had a PW1 for a few years now and I mostly just charge it when I shower or take a dump. I pretty much never have a low battery on mine.
Yeah I got a free pixel watch 2 and it sucks ass having to take it off every night and morning.
