Interesting. Apparently Dan has figured out how to recharge the woefully inadequate battery while the watch is on his wrist.
- taspeotis 9y agoMy own experience with the Apple Watch battery life is that its just fine. It could be longer, sure. Wearing the watch for 23 hours a day is manageable if you are diligent about when you charge it [1] and when you use flight mode [2]. Personally I do not bother with this but if you were someone who valued sleep tracking via your Apple Watch then you can find ways to make it work.

- neild 9y agoApple Watch series 3, no cellular: Usually ~75% charge remaining after wearing it for 16 hours. Maybe the cellular ones are a lot more power hungry, but I could charge this one only every other day with no problems.
- post_break 9y agoDoes it take 1 hour to charge from 0%?
- chmaynard 9y agoTo provide some context, my opinion is that a useful smart watch should require charging only about once a week. Current battery technology just isn't there yet. Like the Newton PDA, Apple Watch is the right product but ahead of its time.
