For me it's the battery. Having to charge a watch every 24-48 hours is a complete non-starter, regardless of its functionality. I don't want to carry more cables or charging stations with me wherever I go. It's the single-most point of stress, especially when I travel.
If the battery lasted 7-10 days, it would be perfect. That's about how long my business trips take, so I could charge it to full beforehand and not worry about it at all during the trip.
- whipoodle 9y agoYeah, I'm not sure I would want one even in that case, but certainly not until then.
- macintux 9y agoYou won't see a week-long battery life on the Watch for many years, but you will see a single charging pad for Watch + iPhone + AirPods next year. Seems like a reasonable compromise for travelers.
- ciaranm 9y agoI've been using a plug like this ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Syncwire-4-Port-Interchangeable-Adaptor-White/dp/B011KPRE1G/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1506355234&sr=8-7&keywords=usb+plug https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Syncwire-4-Port-Interchange... )for my phone/watch/headphone/kindle charging for years. It's very handy - especially when travelling.
