When I started wearing a watch, it constantly distracted me and cause minor annoyance all day while I got used to it. At some point it just started blending into the background. Now, when I wear my watch on my other hand, I still have the same problem, but I don't notice my watch normally anymore.

I've slept with my watch for a while (stopped because the battery is crap and I need to charge it every day or it won't last past noon the next day) and I've had the same adjustment period.

I also think some people are just more sensitive to these things. Some sleep with full-on CPAP machines hooked up to their faces like it's nothing, but others can barely stand wearing clothes when they're sleeping. Plus, some watches are more comfortable than others.

I'm guessing this is an Apple Watch? Garmins typically last a week or more.

Samsung Galaxy Watch from years ago, still running Tizen. Got it as a company Christmas present, so I'm not too fussed about the mediocre battery life. From what I can tell the Garmin models in the same price range don't last much longer either.

If it makes you feel any better, I've got a perhaps Galaxy Watch 7 from almost a year ago or so running wearOS, and it's battery life is at best at the 36 hour mark regardless. Came from an older tizen-based watch with similar battery life, and at least wearOS is far more funtional.

I wear Huawei WatchFit during sleep, battery also lasts over a week. I didn't know Apple Watch batteries are that bad.
