Who is buying an Apple Watch with 1 day of battery life?

If the watch is something I end up wanting (no idea yet until I've seen what its feature set is), then 1 day of battery is more than enough. As others have said, as long as it can last the majority of the day without charging, that's all that's necessary.
Without knowing the charging method for sure, and if it changes my "willingness to charge" every night for yet one more device (laptop, phone, iPad) I would say It should go at least 2 days.
I guess.
Charging every night, for what it does and where you have to wear it, its not a necessity to me anyway.
If I were at work every day, I would see myself using it potentially and I guess with heavy use 1 day charge would be ok.
I guess the less I care to use it, the longer the battery might be so I can just have it laying around like how a handy bluetooth headphone is around, and have iWatch ready to go once in a while for a short trip to the circle K or something.

I'll buy it, just to see what it's like.
I've never been disappointed buying an Apple product, .... except ...
The MIGHTY MOUSE
Who remembers that???
The "scroll ball" broke after like three days.
They finally go it right with the magic mouse. And the puck? Good Lord what a terrible design. The MM is pretty dang awesome, though.
If only we had invented something that took rays from the sun and converted it to electricity AND combined that with something that converted motion to electricity maybe then we could get a watch with a significantly longer battery life.
We need some alien/domestic seeds to squeeze for power.

What is the point of owning a smartphone, if you have to charge it every day (or every two)?
What is the point of owning a watch where you have to manually wind it up every day, lest it stop working?
You should take every clock off your wrist each night...for health and cleanness reasons.
I JUST WANT THE MOTOROLA WATCH WITH IOS
Pretty much this! I will not pre-order but if it looks nice and works well I would buy one later down the road.
Look at this and tell me you do not want the iwatch to look identical?!?!?!

If it's just a phone extension and a fitbit combined, I will never buy one.
1. I can take the phone out of my pocket. It's not an inconvenience.
2. I don't need a health machine. I have self control.
Now, if it's something that we've never thought of before like the original iPhone. Then that's another story.

It would probably spend most of the time sitting on the charger for me. I rarely wear a watch. My phone has pretty much replaced that. The few times I do go to put my watch on the battery has died. I could see myself using this for the health monitoring. I dig the interface, though seeing it isn't the same as using it.
I'll be buying it day 1. Would never wear a watch at night, so for me the battery life is a moot point.
Lack of GPS on the other hand is a bit of a pain, but I'm really curious and excited about the variety of other features.
Looking forward to learning more about it though.

I don't understand this, why would you want a mini-computer on your wrist that takes an iPhone in the vicinity to make it work?
It completely defeats the purpose of this small wearable to have on fitness runs/etc.
Essentially they should just elect people to be charged an extra $350 when they purchase an iphone.
