Apple is gunning for Garmin but it has a battery problem
Generally, dedicated athletes have to make a choice between the two categories — you want a multifunction smartwatch for everyday use or a more specific tool for tracking exercise and workouts? With watchOS 9, it appears that Apple is trying to draw in more people within the running community by dangling the prospect of a watch that can do it all.
“For runners using watches, battery life is indispensable to the experience,” says Caprara. “It can be a huge barrier, effectively rendering a run non-existent if the battery runs out. If there’s even a remote risk, the value is diminished.”Apple hasn’t strayed from its 18-hour battery life claim On top of that, longer battery is more convenient than scheduled fast charging if you prioritize sleep tracking. You’ve also got a better shot of sticking with a device if you don’t have to take it off quite as often.
