48 isn't really that much better than 24
Really? I make it (performs some higher mathematics) exactly twice as good. More would definitely be better.
Okay, now your just being ridiculous. If the current battery is "is as much use as a chocolate teapot" then the watch would be no use at all and that clearly isn't true
...read what I actually said: 24 hour battery life is useless on a smartphone because, ultimately, you want to be able to reliably receive and make calls or emails. I was admitting that its less critical on a smartwatch, because whereas public telephones are becoming like hen's teeth (and are useless for receiving) there are still lots of other ways of finding out the time.
Looks like there are two sorts of people here: those people who sometimes forget/are unable to charge their device, and those people who have been lucky so far.
