Necessary edit: don't get me wrong, I understand how useful or good it can be feature-wise, but this is still a huge dealbreaker.
I like wearing my watch at night for sleep tracking, and the longer it's on my wrist, the more data it's capturing, which my hope is that in the years to come, can be harnessed for improving my health, somehow.
Hopefully you understand that watches can still be competitors in the smartwatch space even if they don't have feature parity?
Pebble is so good that I still keep 2 extra ones in their unopened boxes, for the day my current one fails.
When you are in apple ecosystem, unlock phone with watch, unlock Mac with watch, accept Okta verify (2FA) on watch without an unlock, etc are life changing things for me.
What sucks is that I can’t gift it an Android/PC person without replacing thousands worth of everything else.
Other than the nightstand clock thing, this is how I wear my "real" watches too.
Seriously though, my Apple Watch is definitely the one device that runs out of battery the most in my life. I would love more battery life, so long as it doesn’t compromise any of the functionality or design. But there’s the rub.
Even on busy weekends where I'm out all day with multiple "workouts" it usually lasts the day fine.
So I have developed a habit of taking off my apple watch when I sit at my desk. By the first time I think to look at my wrist, it's charged.
I put it in sleep mode all night, and wake up with plenty of battery anyway.
Sure it's one more thing to manage, but having it wake me up with vibrate every morning is worth the small hassle.
