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.

This was a huge concern of mine before I got an Apple Watch but it really doesn't make a big difference to me. If anything charging every night makes it easier to remember to charge it than there being random off-days where I have to remember.

> charging every night

Funny as I bought it as they advertised sleep measurement features. I quickly realized I need to actively think about charging time and at some point I just stopped using it.

I'm shocked so many people find it this difficult. Particularly to the point you abandon a $500 device. You take off the watch before showering, stick it on the charger. By the time you're dressed it's fully charged. A bit like how you wouldn't jump in the shower every morning with a mechanical watch.
