18 hour battery life seems tiny compared to my 10 day battery life on my Garmin Venu 3.

Does Garmin just have better battery technology, or some patents that Apple can't use? Why such a large gap in comparable products?



Because they're not even remotely comparable products


They seem like they’re directly the same category of product at a glance.


Yes, and an office PC and a gamer PC are both PCs. Pick and choose another example, using eg. car models.


What's the major differences between them? I can't really tell from the marketing material for both, they seem very much in the same class of watch.


Telling time, showing notifications, and tracking sleep is 99% of what I need the Watch to do, and Pebble could do that with a week-long battery life.


They’re still not comparable products, you just use them the same, limited way.
