“None of the above.”
I shower in the evenings before bed, and that’s when I charge the Ultra. By the time I’m done, it’s all but guaranteed to have at least an 80% charge; usually, it’s over 90%. On the rare cases when it only makes it to, say, 75%, I might leave it on the charger for a little longer. Maybe.
Even when traveling, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it get below 15%. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen single digits. One thing’s certain … I have not once ever had even the slightest hint of anxiety that I might run out of charge.
Honestly?
Put it this way … we have a Chevy Bolt. Many people not familiar with electric cars still ask about range. While it’s not a cross-country road trip car, granted … in the real world, we have zero range anxiety — in stark contrast to when we find ourselves back in a gas-powered car. We’ll plug in the car when we get home; the next time we leave the driveway, it’ll be ready to go a couple hundred miles: far, far, far more than we ever even imagine driving in a single day (road trips excepted). We could probably charge once per week and be okay … but it’s so much easier to just close the door and plug in the car.
But when we go on a road trip in a gas-powered car? First thing we do is look for a gas station to top off before we get on the freeway, and then start figuring out where we’ll stop for gas along the way … and if we’re a bit careless, don’t fill up, and notice that we’re down to a quarter tank and we’re in the middle of nowhere with a cell signal that’s weak enough to make finding the next gas station dodgy …
The actual answer about both the watch and the car is that I don’t think about either. There’s a momentary habit, part of the routine that literally takes a second. If I happen to have a brain fart, not the end of the world … just make sure I don’t forget the next day, or maaaaybe plug in either while brushing my teeth just for a bit of reassurance.
