I am getting more into sleep health and want to better understand my sleep habits so I have been looking at the Apple Watch.

If I spend the money on an Apple Watch I want to also be able to use it all day but I am realistic in that I know it has to be charged too.

I am leaning towards the series 9 but see that it is good for about 18 hours and then needs about 1.5 to get a full charge.

What are your routines to use your watch all day but also be able to get good sleep data?

TIA

    Bought an S9 on Black Friday after some time wearing Casios now I’m back. I also bought it for sleep tracking and regular use - I rarely do workouts, so I know that takes up a lot of battery life.

    So far, it’s lasted 2 days on one charge. I normally don’t let it die completely, since I like to have enough juice to wear it at night. It’s got raise to wake on and I’ve tried to turn off somethings that will drain the battery - if anyone has any tips on what drains, please help me here, sometimes I really don’t know what to turn off, lol.

    And it charges quite quick I think, about less than an hour it’s good to go. Don’t be fooled by the ‘faster charge’ on the 8 and 9 models. It’s literally 15’ faster on a charge than the regular one, it’s really a joke, if you ask me. A ‘faster charge’ would be like 30 minutes vs an hour imo, but it is what it is.

    Overall it’s an all day watch really. Apple Pay is absolutely perfect and blazing fast, watch faces are great, all apps I need work perfectly well, the larger screen is great and the S9 is a good watch if you wanna track your sleep, since it’s not uncomfortable to wear at night.
