A recent survey has revealed that owners of the smartwatch feel that this is not a concerning issue.

The Apple Watch has a tiny battery of only 205 mAh that had caused many in the industry to predict that the short battery life of the device would be a pain for wearers and that it might turn them off purchasing future generations.

However, a recent survey has shown that owners seem to be just fine with the daily charging.

The battery life survey was conducted by Wristly, and it found that even though Apple Watch wearers get only one day out of their devices before they need to recharge, they seem to be fine with that. In fact, most expressed that they are quite unconcerned about running out of juice before the day is through. The survey involved the participation of more than 1,200 Apple Watch wearers. What they discovered was that nearly half – 44 percent – of users never check their battery level throughout the day.

A massive 95 percent of Apple Watch users said that their device battery life is a full day.

Another 84 percent of the smartwatch’s owners said that they were satisfied with the length of time that the battery would last before it would need to be recharged. The primary drain on the battery in this gadget is one of the central Apple Watch features: fitness tracking.

Approximately 45 percent of the participants in the Wristly survey felt that the health features of the smartwatch were those that caused the largest drain on the device battery. Another 19 percent of the respondents said that Maps was the largest drain on their wearables.

What was also interesting was that 88 percent of Apple Watch users said that they charged their smartwatches “at night, no matter what percentage is showing.” This not only implies that the device seemed to run for as long as they needed it during the day, but also that the gadgets were being taken off and charged overnight while their owners were sleeping.

Still, when asked about how satisfied they were with the charging time of the Apple Watch, only 66 percent said that they were “highly satisfied”. The survey didn’t cover the number of wearers that relied on external battery chargers such as portable power banks in order to recharge their devices.

The two new version of the device have been launched ahead of the IFA electronics trade show.

Just before the IFA electronics trade show, Samsung has revealed the look of its upcoming Gear S2 smartwatch, as well as the Gear S2 Classic model, and the look is completely different from previous generations.

The most noticeable difference that is seen in this wearable technology is in the round faces of the device.

Among the primary challenges that Samsung has faced in being able to promote its smartwatch is in the limited number of apps that are available to its users. Still, it has continued to base its Gear S2 on its proprietary Tizen operating system. This places the wearables in direct competition with not only Apple, but also the range of different device manufacturers that have based their gadgets on the Android Wear operating system from Google.

The smartwatch may have been launched by Samsung, but it has yet to announce a price or release date.

The circular design is new to the wearables from the company and, according to Samsung, it will allow the frame of the watch to rotate in order to give users access to various features such as notifications and apps. The circular display is 1.2 inches of Super Amoled. It has a 360 x 360 pixel resolution. This wearable technology has 512 MB of RAM and is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor.

There will be two different styles of Gear S2. The first is the moden and the second is the classic. Each model will have a number of different band and color options from which to choose in order to suit the style and preferences of the wearer. The dimension of the Gear S2 are 42.3 by 49.8 by 11.4 mm, with a weight of 47 grams. On the other hand (so to speak), the Gear S2 Classic is slightly smaller at 39.9 by 43.6 by 11.4 mm, and it is also slightly lighter as it weighs in at 42 grams.

The smartwatch category has been one that has been slow to take off, so it will be interesting to see whether or not this new addition brings better successes to the brand than the previous generations of the Gear devices.
