I have a feeling you’re probably right, sadly. I’m looking forward to the day when the Apple Watch can be a more feasible sleep tracker. Right now if you exercise with one of the workouts that uses the sensors, you’re lucky if it doesn’t ask you to charge before going to bed, then charge it when you wake up before you exercise. It threw off my exercise rhythm so much as the Apple Watch doesn’t charge very fast. I just stopped using the sleep tracking feature.
Hoping Apple can work some magic, as the ability to have a true multi-day watch would really help a lot. I think the exercise/sleep combo would be hard to beat with a larger battery.
Same here. It seems lately that every time I turn around my Series 4 is below 10 or 20% and I'm just about to leave the house. I also stay at our "project house" (eventual retirement destination) on weekends to work on it and I would rather not have to drag a charger along.
So, what I did was, I ordered a Prime Day Garmin Venu yesterday to see what's happening on that side of the fence. Without boring everyone too much, some of the coolest AW features aren't always practical or reliable for one reason or another, and the ones leftover, for me, boil down to contactless payments, GPS/workouts, and onboard music, which are also on the Garmin. But the Venu adds a round face and 5 days' battery life. I'm not under any illusion about the UI design and responsiveness compared to the AW, but we'll see if the battery life makes up for any shortcomings...
