$40 smart watch from Amazon does most of what the Apple Watch does and battery lasts a week even wearing it all night. I occasionaly charge it while showering
I didn't realise the Amazon watch was a self-winding mechanical watch. :)
Retro Casios look great, to be fair. But, IMO, knowing the time isn't something I need to be solved on my wrist anymore given everyone carries phones.
I genuinely don’t understand why this is a problem for some people. It charges in under 15 minutes while I shower each morning. When I’m traveling I do always forget the charger however. Robot vacuums on the other hand are awful for me. I always leave small cables and things on the floor like a jacket on the back of a chair. Also it does a poor job of transitioning from a hardwood surface to a thick rug. It frequentl…

It's yet another device that needs regular charging. Don't we have enough of those already?
Somehow, this really resonates with me. I have used an Apple Watch off and on the last three years. While I have no problem keeping it charged, doing so is still a chore. When I wake up, I remove my iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch from the charger. Some mornings it feels like my sole purpose in life is to dress myself in technology and while keeping the various integrated batteries topped off. I got the watch for the…
My only request would be that they make an "Apple bracelet" so that I can wear my nice mechanical watches. It's a pain to jump back and forth because the power reserves on the mechanicals will die, and resetting the time (or worst the date complication) is annoying.
Bought a watch to monitor fitness, then settles on a Casio that doesn't? Retro Casios look great, to be fair. But, IMO, knowing the time isn't something I need to be solved on my wrist anymore given everyone carries phones.
I really like my Apple Watch. I use it for what it is, a glorified fitness tracker with additional "communicator" tech.

I’d love to have the tracker only too.
I got rid of mine because of the battery as well. The benefits didn't outweigh the extra mental overhead of having one more thing to manage daily. Except for times when I want to capture health data, or when I'm exercising, I wear nothing. After all, I always have my phone with me, so I always know what time it is. But when I want to wear a watch, my Garmin Venu SQ2 provides nearly as good activity and health trackin…
> for times when I want to capture health data, or when I'm exercising, I wear nothing. I think I’m misreading this - you exercise naked?
