Why can't Apple, of all manufacturers, produce a watch that can last longer on a charge than one or two days?

Garmins easily last a week.

I'm getting basically exactly what Garmin claims on my 45mm Venu 3-- 14 days. Wild that nobody else is even close.

The new Pebbles are also claiming two weeks (they're only just now shipping, so we'll see how that pans out): https://ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-2-duo-is-in-mass-production

In any case I agree that it's crazy - particularly for Apple which tends to have pretty good power efficiency in its other devices.
