The Apple Watch Series 10 battery provides roughly 18 hours of juice per charge. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 battery is good for closer to 24 hours. So, unless you switch on either device’s low-power mode, you will need to seek out a charger daily.
In 2024, battery life, or lack thereof, is the single biggest thing holding back smartwatches. Sure, if you don’t mind rocking a pricey, chunky monster on your wrist, there’s always the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. Even still, the former will get you through just 36 hours between top-offs and the latter a more respectable 48 hours (double those figures for low-power mode).
