The Apple Watch battery life is supposed to last all day, but don't expect a full 24 hours from this first iteration of the smartwatch.
Instead, Tim Cook has promised 18 hours of a typical day, which technically does sync with his comments that it can be "worn all day" and is something that's "simple to charge at night."
This number is based on an Apple Watch being paired with an iPhone and used for 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use and a 30-minute workout with music playback via Bluetooth.
There's a Power Reserve mode that kicks in when the battery life is critical, and the 42mm case will feature a slightly bigger lithium-ion battery. Either watch sizes' battery can be changed by Apple.
By comparison, the Moto 360, LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live the last about a full day and newer Android Wear watches ASUS ZenWatch, Sony SmartWatch 3and LG G Watch R go a day and a half.
We have to test out the Apple Watch to see how it stacks up. At least the disturbing reports about it having as little as 2.5 hours of battery life were unfounded. As we predict, these fears were overblown and likely based on always-on screens or prototypes.
