I understand the issues you experience. I don’t get the point you are trying to make.

I have a cheaper smartwatch and a dirty cheap robot cleaner.

Cheaper smartwatch has e-ink screen, notifications, payment, health monitors, etc. It doesn’t have all possible smart features, but in return I got 30d battery life.

Cheap robot vacuum cleaner is based on basic sensors, no lidar or recognition systems. It gets stuck in cables, it misses 10% of spots, but it captures 2 cup sized ball of dust every day.

I am happy with both. Especially because I researched and found what works for me. Maybe the ‘best’, ‘smartest’ and most expensive products in the market isn’t neccesaary what everybody needs?

TL;DR Author threw away watch because they keep forgetting to charge it and managing charging cable was difficult. There must be reasonably easy solutions to both of these problems.

I have a wireless charger next to my bed, I go into the shower, put it on there, come back and it's good for another day or so.

TL;DR^2: Person finds a tool not useful to them and stops using it.

I know, right?

It's not as if the watch doesn't prompt you to charge it either.

Even with the Ultra and it's 2-3 day battery life will charge up from almost empty to 100% in 45mins

Forces you to shower in order to use a watch

Nice feature
