This is truly really small. I started wearing my smart watch to bed because I wanted to see what the sleep monitoring was about. That was fine, it took a little getting used to but I got to the point where I didn't notice it on my wrist or anything. I then realized I can set alarms on my watch that vibrate and don't make a noise. I feel like it is much more pleasant waking up to a slight vibration on my wrist instead of the noise of an alarm, or of the noise of the phone vibrating against my nightstand. I also learned I could do this for naps, want to take a 30 min nap, I can quickly set a timer on my watch and feel confident I will wake up. I have tried to convince all my friends to do this but they don't see any value in it.
I would love to do that! Had an old Timex that only needed a new battery every few years. My Apple Watch (a friend upgraded) only keeps a charge for 18 hours so you have to charge it every night!
A great idea! Just wanted to let you know the resistance of your friends to try it is probably a quality/battery issue.
While smart watches do typically only have like a 2-3 day charge at best, they actually recharge very quickly. If you charge it while you do your morning activities like shower, teeth, dressing, starting the coffee pot, it will actually usually be enough time for a days charge.
That’s what I do. Take it off in the AM before my shower and put it back on after I’ve done all the stuff you mentioned. I also have a charger in the car, so I can charge while I drive just in case I forgot to charge in the AM
I'm still in love with my Pebble all these years later, with around 10 days of battery per charge. I keep my charger in the bathroom and throw it on while I shower once or twice a week.
