And that's why I will stick with the smartphone/watch combo....at least my Seiko will never run out of battery.

      Pretty good. Much better than the 12 hours of the Moto 360.

      Smartwatches have still got a long way to go. It'd be nice to see the battery life out to about a week.

                              Its interesting the tech sites and readers that laughed and scoffed at the Gear when it was released regarding its features and battery life yet so far it seems to be killing the smartwatch scene.

                              Overnight it seems a days usage has become accepted.

                                      bng, 11 Sep 2014i change my watch battery once in a year :)I never need to change/charge batteries in my watch thanks to its automatic wrist movement charged system. I've had it for 15 years and it never failed me...

                                      1 day or even 1 week of battery life? Meh, not interested.

                                        I have very high expectation on Apple Watch.

                                        I expect the battery life will last for 1 month before the next recharging.
