Believe me, I'm a big fan of the Apple Watch.

Everytime I meet someone who uses (used to use) the Watch, it usually turns out they have given up because of short battery life. I have a series 1: looks like it has improved in recent versions. I'm glad to hear that. Mine barely lasts a day.

Battery life is really important. Many of my friends see smartwatches as primarily a fitness device, and when the comparison with Fitbit (or anyone else) happens, it usually comes last.

My hope is that Apple focusses aggressively on making the iWatch battery life longer. That would undoubtedly lead to further lift in sales and happier customers.

Unless you got it in the last two months, you don't have a series 1. You have an "Apple Watch".

* Apple Watch - released last year

* Apple Watch Series 1 - released in September of this year, has new CPU, but otherwise mostly same
