This may be true for older Apple Watches, but it's not true for the latest Apple Watch. I get 3 days of battery life on regular usage, and a full charge only takes about an hour. Throwing it on the charger while I take a shower or wash dishes is enough to keep it topped off.

Admittedly mine is a bit older and I haven't kept _super_ up to date with people's experiences.

Which model do you have? I'm pretty sure the real expensive one (ultra?) has pretty good battery life, I'm not sure about the others

Here is an article that compares charging times on the newest vs somewhat old apple watches: https://www.androidauthority.com/how-long-does-apple-watch-t...

Also Apple introduced a "Low Power Mode" on WatchOS 9 that allows you to potentially get 60 hrs on the Apple watch ultra. This link discussed what is disabled in this mode. Seems like it would work for your use case or at the very least you run low power mode during the day and turn it off at night for better sleep monitoring: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/enable-low-power-mode-apple...

I have a series 5 and it easily last 24 hours, with the screen on the entire time. It charges pretty fast. Haven't measured it but I never have to think about battery life.

Even older ones are decent. I have a 4 and it's probably got about 2 days of battery life. I put it on the charger for an hour every morning as part of my routine.
