There's an argument to be made that its easier to charge a device every night, than wonder if your 30% will get you through to the next day and figure out when you should charge it.

At 20% on the pebble in the evening I'm pretty confident I can make it through the next day, but that's not really your point I suppose.

I really don't get that argument, you can easily charge it up every day if you want to. It stops you worrying if you're going away for a few days though, I know if I charge up my pebble before the weekend I can go away without worrying about needing a charger. I don't have to worry about my watch in the evening because I've used it quite a bit today.

It's like saying that Hummers have the advantage because you have to keep stopping for fuel every petrol station, rather than wondering if you can make it to the next one.

My iPad ends up completely drained all the time because I don't need to charge it every night. My iPhone never does. It's silly, but I know that needing to charge something every night makes it easier for me to keep it charged.

I believe you are right. If my smartphones battery would last 2 days instead of one, I would probably still charge it everyday, just to be sure I don't run out of battery.

But if it lasted 7 days? You'd probably end up charging it at most every 5.

Personally I find my iPad, which lasts about a week, is the divide that is most often dead when needed. However, I think the issue there is that it's not constantly in my field of vision, being in my bag. My iPhone and, I assume, an iWatch, would be constantly reminding me of its battery level.
