I refuse to wear a watch that lasts less than 24 hours on a charge. And it undermines health tracking if you have to take it off for an hour plus to recharge.
I used to be worried about that, but I've had a PW1 for a few years now and I mostly just charge it when I shower or take a dump. I pretty much never have a low battery on mine.
My wife has an Apple watch and has to charge it every day. It would drive me absolutely nuts. There's been times where it's run out mid-workout or during a long walk. Meanwhile my Garmin Forerunner can go 2 weeks on a single charge.
If you are on the market for a smartwatch and want one with a good battery life and actually fast charging, check out the oneplus watches. Replaced my unrepairable pixel watch 3 with the oneplus watch 3 and it's getting around 80-90 hours of battery even with always on display, plus it charges in under an hour. Since getting it I charge it while showering only and have yet to run out of battery.
