For all the ahole downvotes, the guy isn’t wrong. Apple needs to get off it’s ass and improve the battery life drastically.

It’s basically an iPhone which monitors more than your iPhone does passively, and most of them have Always On Displays. The fact that such a tiny, complicated device lasts as long as it does is a testament to Apple’s design and hardware team.

All it takes is about half an hour on charge and it’ll last me 24/30 hours. That means I can wear it to bed, to work and for the rest of the day, whack it on to charge while I do my night routine and stick it back on before bed, rinse and repeat
