  7-10 days is the ideal time, which is what the original Pebble Steel was capable of. I used to charge it once a week on Monday in the office and it would easily last till the next Monday. Sadly mine died from the screen glitch issue, and right around the time that Pebble collapsed. I think the Time 2 Steel would have been an incredible watch. I've been using a Skagen Jorn Hybrid smartwatch for the last few years. No digital display, but the time/date are set via bluetooth, and it has phone call notification, which is mostly what I want. I don't need to read emails or SMSs on my wrist. 6 months of battery life from a replaceable coin cell. Honestly though, this is the first apple watch to appeal to me. Proper waterproofing, ruggedness, long enough battery life to go away for a weekend without a charger, always on screen. It's almost getting back to where Pebble was - they just need to stretch that battery a bit more with an ultra-low power mode. The cost is fairly high considering the functions I want though, so I'll need to use it in person before I put any money down. I do occasionally scuba dive too, so the dive functionality is actually fairly appealing as I don't own a dive computer any more.

    If Apple would just not go full Apple on somethings, like allowing interop Qi standard and reverse wireless charging, you could just top it off from your iPhone (or Android or wireless charger).
