One thing that worried… no, “worried” is the wrong word. One thing I was *curious* about was how the Apple Watch would survive a full day, followed by a long haul flight. And by “long haul” I mean 13 hours in the air. Unlike my phone, I’m not likely to be topping the watch’s battery up through the day, so I suspected it might be DOA in Singapore.

And, as you can see above, it wasn’t. Clearly, once the wireless was off, the battery usage dropped dramatically, and so I finished the flight with about the same battery left as I have after the end of a normal working day.

It made it through to bedtime in Singapore that evening. That’s just seven hours less than a full two days. Pretty good for a wearable.
