I can't wear mine to the office (security reasons), but I only have to go there a couple days a week. The rest of the time, I'm wearing my AW.

I also wear it every night to use it as my alarm clock in the morning. The taps and *ding* sounds are quite effective at waking me up.

I exercise 7 days a week so every day and ever night for me, I take it off a few hours every other day to charge it up late in the afternoon then put it back on.

I wear my Apple Watch Series 2 everyday, unfailingly. I bought it expressly for that purpose. It means I don't have to pull out my iPhone 6s plus every time a notification comes through, and due to my health problems, I find the suite of health apps invaluable - particularly the heart rate recorder which is truly priceless. I also find the built in pedometer extremely useful. I've also started using Siri much more, as I find her quite responsive and readily available.

Use mine every day. Left it home for a week while in Boston and missed having the convenience of checking text without pulling out my phone. If there were anyway to trade in mine, I'd go for the next gen.

Yes, now I'm not tethered to my iPhone 24/7. I don't have to worry about dropping my iPhone in the toilet again(after I peed in it). I don't miss important notifications from my family and work. I used Apple Pay for the first time in the cafeteria at my work place and that was pretty convenient. Now I don't have to bring cash with me everyday. The cashier told me I was the first customer to do Apply Pay on a watch. Plus I think it looks cool to wear everyday.

I wear mine all day everyday. I track sleep and use the silent alarm. Series 2 Nike+ so I charge it every two days in the morning when I get back from gym while I am getting ready

For a second there, I thought you owned the ceramic Edition with the white bumper surrounding the casing. I like the band paired with the white over-lay.

I rotate with other watches too. I like wearing it in the house to control my stereo which is connected to my iPhone by bluetooth.

I'm less likely to wear the AW outside; I found that I got bored with tracking.

I found out that I actually like to wear my Apple Watch more primarily when I'm out and about. I was wearing it when I weightlift, which I do regularly, but I find out I use it more efficiently when I'm not at home.

...how do you find time to charge it then, if you are wearing it during the day and during the night (I wear mine all day and would also like to wear it at night to track my sleep, but that would leave no time to charge it)??

It's a small battery, so it doesn't take long to charge. I usually charge mine in the evening while my wife and I are just hanging out.

I go to the gym at 430am, then workout, when I get home I throw it on the charger while I get kids up and get ready for work etc. This charges to 100 percent then repeat the process the following day or following night while getting ready for bed. Works great once you have a system down

I put mine (42mm Space Grey) on at 7am in the morning, and wear it until I get home at 6pm, whereby I then put it on my nightstand where I have the charger. I then go to bed at around 11pm - I guess I could then put it on to track my sleep, and then throw it back on the charger again at 6:45am when I wake up, whilst I wash and stuff, and then put it back on again at 7am, ready for the rest of the day?

What kind of straps do you guys wear for sleep tracking then? I currently wear a Belkin black leather band, which is nice and comfortable during the day, however, wouldn't have thought this would feel nice during the night?! Perhaps a sport band (but that then would mean, switching out the bands every night and every morning - a chore!!) ?

..and do the various sleep tracking apps (I don't think the watch natively tracks sleep does it?) write to the Health App?

I still have only the Sport band, and I set it at the looser of my usual three settings.

I don't use any sleep tracking apps, though. I just use it as an alarm clock and have it tap my wrist to wake me up. Even in silent mode, it works very well, and I can get up without disturbing my wife.
