Apple watch has a lot going for it.. Its part of our wonderful Eco-system and of course works well with iPhones. It is beautiful designed and compared to collector, and luxury brand watches it is quite inexpensive as well.
The major issue with smartwatches i the battery times.. Apple have made strides with battery times for laptops but even the chunkiest and most expensive Apple’s men-size-model cant even be used over a weekend without charging, and that is with new batteries.
Most users 2023 want their wearable to be able to monitor sleep, REM,deep-sleep,light sleep, snoring or talking in your sleep. Something simply impossible to do if your watch needs charging during bed-time.
Apple Ultra 2 (the chunkiest of em all) lasts only about 1.5 Days (if not in ultra saver mode where it can go stretch its stamina for 2.5 days).. However the sleep monitoring will be severely hampered if it is not using the full-power mode. Huawei, Fitbit, Garmin, Vivo, Oppo, XIaomi, Honor, Amazfit, TicWatch, Redmi are all offering many days longer battery-stamina than Apple, which is essential for weekend-ttrips, sleep monitoring and overall lifetime of the watch as battery will degrade over time.
