I thought of the exact same scenario as you described. But, it failed that thought flow when I realised I needed to charge this thing everyday - and think about/feel anxious about charging this thing every god damn day.
I settled with a Fitbit Charge HR 2 almost a year ago, and this thing never leaves my wrist. Once a week or so when it about to die, I toss it in its charger as soon as I wake up and it is ready for another week when I pick it up before I go to work.
I will consider Apple Watch when the charge times get to a week or there comes a technology breakthrough that charges this thing wirelessly without contact. Until then, y'all enjoy!
- macintux 8y agoI’d actually struggle with something that only required periodic charging. Source: my AirPod case. With the Watch it’s simple: every night when I go to bed, I place it on the charger.
- kitsunesoba 8y agoYep, bedstand charger does the trick for me too. I never think about my Series 1’s battery.
- reacharavindh 8y agoYes, but I really like the stats my Fitbit gives me about my quality of sleep. There are days when I stayed in bed for 9 hours but only really sleep like 4 hours. I can look at the sleep stages and clearly see what stage was I at during those woken up hours. Agreed. If I didn't care about wearing it overnight, I can see how overnight charging almost makes the charging problem disappear.
- macintux 8y agoThe battery life is closer to 36 hours than 24, so people do use it that way. One approach is to drop it on the charger for 20-30 minutes in the evening, wear it overnight, place it on the charger again while getting ready in the morning. I can’t be bothered, but I will admit I’ve been curious how terrible my sleep is.
