Solving for a longer charge may get them some sales from holdouts who went out and bought a Garmin instead. Cramming more features that make existing Apple Watch users feel like their watches are obsolete will get them a lot more.
Isn't longer battery life a feature that makes "existing Apple Watch users feel like their watches are obsolete"?
Yeah, Apple watches are a non-starter for me. Zero chance I'm charging my watch daily.
Put it on the charger while you’re showering and it’ll be charged enough to run until your next shower. And doing this consistently helps in forming a routine.
