I throw it on the charger for 30 minutes while I work in the evening. Works great, and as others have noted, that’s usually enough to get through 2 nights.

It charges pretty quickly; quickly enough in my experience that even if I forget to charge it one day and I find it dead at an inconvenient time, I can usually throw it in a charger for long enough to get through the rest of the day without much inconvenience. I’ve had my series 5 for about 18 months and in that time, only once have I had it die on me when I was trying to use it.

If I ever go back to working in an office, my use pattern might change, but for the most part I think the inconvenience of charging daily is overstated.

Edit: It also will notify you 1 hour before your configured bedtime if it doesn’t have enough juice to get through the night. I thought this was silly when they announced it but in practice it is great.
