Sure is a lot of hate for the Apple Watch. Hey if you don't like it, don't buy one! Easy.
That is true. Most of the time I am able to get through the day with a single charge.
But as the rumors suggested (official) sleep tracking is coming to Apple Watch soon, when will be a good time to charge it? It will be an interesting problem to solve ...
If it lasted 7 days people would complain it didn't last for 8 days. If the charge last 1+ days, I am good with it.Why? They don’t get 7 days of battery life from a smartphone either. If people can charge those everyday, why not a watch?
I thought the Apple Watch was flying off shelves...
And that $35 non-name generic fitness tracker can't do a fraction of what the Apple Watch does. Whats that? You don't need all those other things the Apple Watch does? Well then don't buy one, its not for you. But complaining that the Apple Watch doesn't get the same battery life is like complaining that a private jet is more expensive than your car, but you only need the car to begin with.Yes, the battery life of an Apple watch is poor compared even to a $35 no-name generic fitness tracker. I use a non-Apple watch many times when I am away from home or maybe even what on the trail up in the mountains with no access to power. The Versa does what's needed for almost a week with no need to charge.
Apple's problem is they try to make things thin even at the cost of lost functionality.
Sales/revenue =/= profit/net income.I thought the Apple Watch was flying off shelves...
Then you are missing out. The Apple Watch is an amazing device. It has come in so handy so many times in my life and I wasn’t sure it would when I bought it. I use ii and rely on it far more than I ever thought possible. And the battery life isn’t horrible. I get about a day and a half. That’s pretty good for a device that small that does so much and that like ipedro said, is basically a small computer on your wrist.
If you want 7 days out of that...well, good luck. You’ll be waiting 20 years or more for that!
Other watches offer more battery life but only a handful of similar features. I have no problem charging my watch while I’m sleepingIt might be due to their own management issues. Apple Watch is the best selling wearable device right now.
I do not own one and I will not until they give me a good battery life, some of the competitors can go up to 7 days on a single charge, I just do not trust their quality.
I can get through 24/7 without the Apple Watch 😂Then you are missing out. The Apple Watch is an amazing device.

Well , of course there are smartwatches that can last more than the Apple Watch, but you have to settle for less functionality. Which is perfectly ok, not everyone needs the full features of an AW. I have a Withings, as well as an Apple Watch 4. The Withings can last up to 15 days,sometimes more. The AW 2 days ( since the latest OS release). I love the Withings because of the analog watch aspect, and I wear it sometimes instead of the AW, but it is far, far more limited than the AW.You sound like you work for Apple. Lots of people won't buy a smart watch until they can get a week out of it. And yes, those other watches are smart watches and can do way more than you give them credit for. Are they an Apple watch? Of course not.

Apple watches flying off the shelves means profit for Apple, not necessarily Quanta. The complaint in the article states lack of profit for Quanta (not Apple) as reason for wanting to exit AW manufacturing. Contract manufacturing doesn't typically generate high margin profit and the manufacturers primarily get by on volume. If the volume generates profit that is too minimal or worse, negative, selling the under performing plant makes sense. It's all speculation so we don't know if it's true or not. Apple does have a reputation of squeezing suppliers to maximize their profit so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I thought the Apple Watch was flying off shelves...

i think this is huge news.
i dont think it has anything to do with the trade war.
its more about china loosing competitiveness over all, in spite of the Yuan reaching a 10 year low of 7.17/USD today. china still cant be competitive even at this low exchange rate.
foretells even more big moves coming in apple's supply chain to incentivize more india assembly.
This is exactly what I need, 7 days battery. Between iPad, iPhone and then Apple Watch I’m getting battery charge fatigue.I do not own one and I will not until they give me a good battery life, some of the competitors can go up to 7 days on a single charge, I just do not trust their quality.
One month or one year would be better, but those aren’t happening either.This is exactly what I need, 7 days battery. Between iPad, iPhone and then Apple Watch I’m getting battery charge fatigue.

I don’t get this 24/7 gadget dependency...
The tariffs are absolutely a factor. Apple has already begun to shift production away from China and into India and other SE Asian nations. China sees that they are going to be losing billions in the coming years and it's having a market effect.
It might be due to their own management issues. Apple Watch is the best selling wearable device right now.
