The watch does not take long to charge, and I think you can find some downtime moments to plug it in based on your routine. I have mine charging every morning while I do my business, shower and get ready for work. Usually gets it from about 20ish% to 70-80%. More than enough to get me through the day and into the next morning.Really! I cannot be bothered having to charge the watch every day. Nike has made a poor job of their updated app and most runners have given Nike app away and changed. The watch is crazy and I smile each time I see them being worn. My life is not living every minute of the day having to be connected as I enjoy my life and freedom to be not connected.
