I'll sleep with it on, and when I wake up, it's around 15%. I toss it on the charger, grab a shower, get dressed, etc., and by the time i put it back on, it's usually back at 98%-100%. So, for me, battery hasn't been a problem. Of course, this is a V1.0 Apple product. I'm curious to see what the subsequent versions will bring and what the release cycle will be. I will freely say that the apps and UI are a bit clunky and you do have to want to use it to get any value out of it. I'm sure people like Karl Lagerfeld have tossed theirs back in their junk drawers by now.
+1. The apps are very clunky and slow to load. I can request the weather on my watch (42mm Stainless) and it takes so long to open sometimes i just pull out my phone and find it faster. I have never had any problems with the battery running out during the day. Using it frequently at work to control my music, check emails, read/reply to texts, track my activity, then going to the gym. By the end of the day its never been below 30-35%. A half hour in the charger and its back ready to go. Though like you said this is a V1.0 product, the next one (Apple Watch S?) will no doubt be faster and improve on almost everything. First generation products are almost always a little lacking, heck the first iPhone didnt even use 3G.
