> and it not really being designed for overnight wear (as I understand it) really hold it back.

I have a first generation Apple Watch. This is one of the things that annoyed me after buying it: you aint sleeping with it on if you want it to running the next morning.

I'm hopeful that batteries will get better and better, and eventually we'll be able to sleep with the watch on and have it track sleeping patterns, etc.




My series 0 is my “silent” alarm clock. I wear it every night and wake up with nearly 100% battery.

Try shutting some of the extras off, and you’ll be surprised at how long it lasts. Also, your morning alarm won’t wake anybody else up!


Apple bricked my series 0 by requiring a software update to activate the watch, and by not providing any watchOS versions still compatible with the series 0.


fwiw i have a series 4 and i sleep in it every night. much better battery life than the first gen


Interesting.

I just keep reading the comments and sadly the ECG feature is not available in Australia and may never be as Apple have never applied for the licenses.

Not a huge deal breaker but an annoying one.


When do you charge it?
