what is totally easy and doable is impossible

Yeah I never said it was impossible. Don’t misrepresent my argument just because you can’t defend yours.

It’s of course possible to charge the watch, it’s just inconvenient to have to deal with multiple times a day. For 2.5 hours of not using it every day. You get less than a full days (24 hours) usage.

You’re making excuses for Apple not competing, and blaming the consumer for simply wanting a product that competes, and isn’t inconvenient.

What a laughably bad excuse.

How long are your showers? Mine are usually about 15 minutes.

Per the US EPA the average shower is 8 Minutes

Per Apple the watch takes 2.5 hours to charge to full. 1.5 for 80% or about .5% a minute for the first 90 minutes

Even with my 15 minute showers I’d get a ~13% charge. That’s a little of 2 hours worth of battery. Idk about you but generally I need at minimum 6, and try to shoot for 8 hours of sleep.

To get a solid 8 hours of life you would need a ~45% charge. So anyone who wants to charge this during a shower better be taking 50 minute showers at a minimum.

I don’t think it’s outrageous to suggest a company compete with on something a basic as battery life when their competitors have proven it possible for 7 years…

Because a watch that lasts 18 hours (apples rating after looking it up) means I cant sleep with it.

Why do I need to justify wanting longer battery life when competitors have offered 2-3 times the life for 7 years?

Wait do Apple Watches not last 2-3 days?

My old Samsung Gear S3 Frontier was rated for 3 days and often went 4-5 way back in 2016. I cannot imagine owning a smartwatch that lasted less than 3.
