How will you charge the Apple Watch and what will its battery life be?
We learned a lot about the Apple Watch today, including its powerful health app, but there's one nagging absence of information: How long will the device run before needing to be charged? All of the features listed during the presentation are impressive, but also should be incredibly resource heavy. After all, the device needs to be paired with an iPhone and, even Bluetooth, sending all that information back and forth means the devices will be communicating quite often.
Currently all we know is how the watch will be charged. According to the presentation it will need to be charged overnight and uses an inductive charger with a special MagSafe-style magnetic attachment that clicks into the bottom of the device. While we don't have any clues to its exact running time, Tim Cook's statements about charging the device at night suggests we could be looking at up to one day of use for the device. We'll have more information about the Apple Watch's battery life as it becomes available.
