Analysis: Wearables have battery life issues
Of course, whether we’re talking about smartphones, laptops, or other types of electronic devices, longer battery life is always better. These gadgets are designed to be worn all the time rather than placed on a charging stand.
For example, smartwatches monitor steps, heart rate, sleep patterns, and more. Whenever you’re not wearing them, there are gaps in the data being collected, reducing the usefulness of these devices.
However, by their very nature, these wearables are small and light. No one wants a bulky smartwatch to weigh heavily on their wrist. This means that there is not much room for a battery. For the time being, manufacturers are essentially in a situation where they cannot win.
As far as smartwatches go, perhaps the best approach is something like the Garmin Instinct 2. It uses a monochrome screen and can last up to a month between charges, but the solar-powered option may not need to be charged if you live in a sunny location.
