AnonD-1046991, 26 Jul 2022"some drain faster then you charge"
The reason... moreThough fast battery charging indeed reduces the battery lifespan, and its stamina will be gradually deteriorated. These deteriorations is not a reason to the claim you replied to.
One big issue with solar powering a wrist watch battery is that one of the worst things for the lifespan of a LiIon battery is charging it when it is above roughly 30°C (the warmer the worse), and it almost certainly will be warmer mounted on an arm in sunlight...
IF the solar power is NOT used to charge the battery, but merely to supply the watch, and thus leaving the battery idle, it is super fine.

basically it is mostly plastic that is protecting the device from a painful ending, the screen will remain unscathed, in a matter of speaking..they just use "marketing" words to hide the drawbacks

The quality is a lot much better there, compared to regular watches, also the features and the accuracy of tracking etc is the segment best on those watches. On top of that, they're water proof and come with a lot of other features. Apple watch at that price will likely be just a gimmick and nothing else

Rumors is that the screen size increase for 1.9 inches to 2.0 - 2.1 or so, but the dimension hardly changes. (sticking to roughly 46mm still)
So that the shape is less rounded.
Nevertheless, it still much smaller then typical rounded watch faces, like the Galaxy Watch.. that one is one huge bugger.

OMG, They are making the already huge pillboxes huger ?!?!?!?!
Maybe they should have a look at the Huawei Band 7, that are down the size of a watch - and with a fortnight of battery stamina.....

So yeah.. you can go practically off grid if you want. If you have android phone.. good luck, some drain faster then you charge. But for ALL iPhones and Apple watches, you can because it's so efficient.

Apple knows it as long as it's being existed that people are dumb for brands and just spend all there money on them. They have always known that there are loads of dumb people and thats why they are also trillion dollar company. Get cost down on material and get price higher to get more profit

(Started with the instinct 1 ,just recently purchased the Instinct 2 ) I’ve owned the Instinct 2 for two weeks now and have not had to take it off to charge it it.
