THIS. The Apple Watch is a nifty device with a lot of potential, but I bought a Fitbit Blaze instead, due to exactly what you said. The battery life on the Apple Watch is crap and it's just too expensive. Sure, the Blaze isn't perfect and doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the Apple Watch, but it does what I need it to do and does it well. I like the sleep tracking feature, something that simply wouldn't be possible with the Apple Watch. Charge it while I'm in the shower and it's good for days on end. I see the Apple Watch as something similar to the first generation iPhone. It's nifty, but limited and expensive. I hopped onboard when the 3G came out because many of those problems were solved. Apple needs to update the hardware in the Apple Watch, boost the battery life, and bring the price down a bit.

Except it's not crap at all, so says, well EVERYONE: for the rest heard. blah blah blah.
Why should I even listen to you when the premise of your argument is WRONG.
 
No as I said I am quoting what AW users have said.

Anything else you having trouble with?

The vast majority of AW owners are satisfied with the battery life, and can get through the entire day without having to re-charge it. Are you actually taking the few posts here from selected members who might be having problems with the battery dropping too fast (pointing to a defect, indexing, stuck in a loop, etc.) and reaching the conclusion that the battery needs to be improved?
 
I've seen maybe four of them in the wild.
Despite frequent annual travels to most of the wealthy major metropolitan cities in the USA, and foreign countries, I have yet to see over 10 Apple Watches total, since their release.

What's that prove? Nothing.

What's that indicate? Far more than Apple devotees care to admit.

Rather lackluster sales made to seem like a big deal, are an embarrassment if Apple had a conscience. It's also an indicator that even a rather dull product can be made to seem more important than it is.
