I can charge mine when I shower and get dressed, and sometimes when I brush my teeth and feed the pets at night - about 30-60 minutes a day total. I wear it the other 23-23.5 hours, including sleep with the AutoSleep app. It sometimes gets down to 20% before charging.
If it didn’t charge so fast then it would be an issue for me.
Exactly what I do with my ancient series 3, I have had no issues unless I forget my charger. I can go maybe 36 hours before a charge, closer to 30 if I do a few workouts.
That all being said, my fiancée and a friend both have series 3s that can’t even stay alive for 12 hours. I had my watch for a year longer than they did, so it’s not an age thing, I just think the batteries are very hit or miss.
Wife does the same thing. She wears it all but for an hour in the morning while getting ready. I HATE wearing mine overnight. I’m device free, but I also sleep great so I don’t bother tracking it. Makes a great alarm clock. Battery life for both of us has never been an issue.
