I bought a lightly used Apple Ultra Watch 2 6 months ago and it solved all my issues with my previous Apple Watch - specifically battery life.

I can use it as a sleep tracker and only need to charge it once every 2 days unless I take extensive hikes or use a lot of camera remote control.

The latter is magical btw especially for solo travelers - ability to set a scene on the iPhone camera while being in it by glancing on your watch is science fiction!

> only need to charge it once every 2 days

The bar for Pebble/Garmin users is multiples of weeks. I typically charge my Garmin every 2-3 weeks, depending on how much activity I've been engaging it. If the battery is at 10%, that means I usually have a day or two to remember to slap it on a charger.
