The current watch’s battery life makes it a non-starter for me. Sleep and health trackers would be nice, and might convince me to make the leap. But no way to do that without charging the current ones twice a day, which is ridiculous. In a perfect world it would go for a whole week before charging.

I don’t think you understand how long the battery does last on the latest generation watches. I wear it all day and all night, and I track my sleep, and there’s usually at least 20% remaining. I only charge in the morning while getting ready for work. It doesn’t last a week, but it’s totally fine for what I use it for.
