I had a Pebble smartwatch for years and loved it. I was a very reluctant switcher to Apple Watch and battery life was one of my biggest concerns.
Turns out it doesn’t really matter. When going to bed at night I used to plug my phone in. Now I plug my phone and my watch in. Pick up both in the morning and I’m ready to go.
Ironically I find myself in fewer low battery scenarios than I did with my Pebble: because I need to charge every day it becomes part of my routine. With the Pebble I’d lose track of when I last charged it and leave the house with it running on fumes. Still miss it, though.
- shawnz 3y agoWhat about sleep tracking? That's essentially the most important feature for me in a smartwatch/fitness tracker
- afavour 3y agoPersonally I don’t care about it. But I imagine I could charge it while I’m in the shower if I did.
- richardw 3y agoIt doesn't take long to charge, so you can top up before bed. When I've forgotten to take mine off it usually lasts all night anyway. One exception: exercise hammers the battery. It'll work but it's not as good as my Garmin bike computer for multi-hour rides. 2 or 3 hours might mean it won't last until bedtime, 4+ and it might not last the ride.
