Instead of replacing my Apple Watch, I pivoted to an Amazfit GTR4, which is less than half the price, has at least a week's battery life, offers all the health features I want, and, after a month of us, the only ding is some clunky on-watch UI.
And, I don't understand why Apple Watch's battery life is so bad. Instead of charging more than once a day, I now charge roughly once a week. Which is so pleasant. I will never go back to Apple Watch until they improve their energy management.
