Ive had 4 different series of Apple Watches over the last ten years and can count on one hand the number of times my watch died before my day was over.
For your anecdote, here is mine: I used to charge my Apple Watch every night and every day because workouts were trashing the battery.
There is no good argument against a longer lasting battery. Even if it lasts 48 hours instead of a competitors week-month, an improvement would be welcome.
Weight.
Likelihood of sales conversion when viewing product.
People buy thinner and lighter devices. The trend keeps repeating itself over and over again in the electronics industry. It’s been going on for decades.
You say you want more battery, more people keep opening their wallets for thin and light.
You have never once in your entire life been offered an iPhone or Apple Watch where you could choose between weight/thickness or battery life and pay the same price. Not one time ever in history.
I don’t think that’s ever happened in the electronics industry.
The Android space is instructive, thin and light keeps selling better than longer battery life. Customers want both, but they’re drawn to thin and light (and price). If the customer wanted more battery life in exchange for weight then any of the brands could have won significant market share under that premise.
