I have a Fitbit Versa 3 that's gone and bricked itself in less than seven months. But my Apple Watch's battery life is <18 hours, so, for example, it's essentially impossible to wear it during the day and use it for sleep tracking overnight. I'd love it if Apple would come up with a fitness tracker that ties in with the rest of the Apple ecosystem and-- most importantly--has a multi-day battery life like Fitbit's smart watches.

im sure youre looking for a full on smart watch, but an alternative that works for me are garmin runner watches. i get notifications, can control music, start/end runs, time, heart rate, VO2 max and an app that aggregates this stuff. i dont really need much more then that.

I charge mine for ~45 minutes or so between 9-10pm and it's been great.

There’s always that avoidable constant extra mile needed for Apple products and how the true fruit company followers never fail to mention it in a a way that it sounds okay.

Didn’t OP’s question clear it up that this was not an option/intention? Or did you assume OP didn’t know the watch could be charged at night?
