Do you normally sleep while wearing your traditional style watch? Never got the "you have to charge it" argument because I took off my mechanical watch before bed and also take off my smart watch, which gets set on the dock. No extra effort.

I do wear my normal watch when I sleep, same as I want to do with my smart watch to track sleep. The normal watch comes off for showering on the morning and put back on right after while the smart watch takes longer to charge than that so I have to remember to go back and put the watch on once it finishes charging (if it has charged fully by the time I have to leave the house).

Charging it at night nullifies the sleep tracking, one of the two useful features lol
