Feature phones have batteries that last a week or longer. Smart phones require daily charging.
There are some sports-specific watches that have long battery life, but then you can’t do all the things you can with an Apple Watch, a list of which is evolving annually with new apps, features, complications, etc.
It depends on what you want! Like the other commenter, I charge mine daily when having coffee in the morning and it never gets below about 40%.
- Etheryte 6y agoI don't really agree with the premise. I have the newer iPhone SE and I get two to three days out of a full charge, sometimes more. It's very different having to charge a device two or three times a week as opposed to daily. For me, the crux of the issue is that Apple Watch has more or less been standing still in the battery life department for years at this point, and the benefits don't outweigh the chore.
- voisin 6y agoOk, this feels a bit nitpicky. Sure, you can get multiple days out of a smart phone if there is relatively light usage but on the whole, most users charge their smart phones daily, versus most feature phone users would charge weekly.
- edmundsauto 6y agoI disagree. Requiring a daily charge means I can't miss a power cycle overnight, whereas 2 day capacity means I can limp through day 2. That is a massive difference to me, and it seems to occur precisely at the worst time, when I need my phone.
