When I get a new watch, my old one becomes my night watch. My new one is placed on charger overnight. My third oldest watch gets donated to a friend.

The fact that Apple still only has the Watch update overnight is insane.
You advertise sleep tracking, which breaks one of the core functions of an OS…
You do know you can just say now and update right? You don't have to wait.
lol bro doesn’t have an ultra I see.
Keep the old one for sleep when you upgrade
Definitely sleep tracking and manually update before bed. 👍
I used to wear it to bed and now I don’t.
just charge & update during breakfast, won't take much time
It gets in the way while I'm tryin' to sleep, I always take it off unless I fall asleep drunk
Easy. Choose sleep tracking.
Solution: whoop
Two Watches. Watch 8 for day and my old Watch SE for sleep.
(BTW, I think this is a stupid setup because the idea of a watch not lasting multiple days is almost as ridiculous as a watch that has to have its settings partially disabled and mostly unused in order to last 18 hours. But I like the workout and sleep stats so I do what I need to do).
Gosh darn, happened to me just yesterday!
I wear mine overnight and pop it on the charger in the morning while I shower, have my coffee, and get ready for work.
That's the most I move around all day :\
Put the charger where you sit. I'm at my desk, charger is on my desk. I charge it when I shower before bed, and in the morning when I drink my coffee. If you're not in the same place for 30 minutes a day you're booking yourself too tight.
Charge while showering, problem solved.
Yep and again right before bed while I’m laying in bed reading for 30-90 mins (depends on the night), between that I never run out of battery even though my watch is getting kind of old
How long are your showers though? I mean I don’t think it takes me more than 15 minutes to handle all that.
I shower then chill after/play games while it charges so it doesnt really miss anything.
45+. I have hand pains so the hot water helps.
All sleep tracking does is make you fucking nuts
I love it, helps me develop better sleep habits. Plus it tracks my heart and respiratory rates.
And tells me at what random time my body decided to wake me up at in the middle of the night.
How so?
I work night shift, so neither lol. Updating my watch is a PIA. Every time there’s an update I get an alert, while at work, that it didn’t update because it’s not on the charger. Well no fucking shit, I’m working at that time. Then when I get home I can’t update it because it’s not at least 50% charged. Son of a… I put in on the charger and sleep but of course it doesn’t update because it’s not the middle of the night and I’m not awake when it finally reaches 50% to tell it to update, and then I wake up I grab it and go because by then I have forgotten. Wash rinse repeat. Updates usually take at least a week on my end. Sure wish I it would be change what time it auto updates, not everyone is asleep at night.
I feel your pain fellow creature of the night.
I wish there was a way to sync apps up better to my sleep schedule. I hate how activity, my to do list (Things 3), and other apps consider the new day to be at midnight. If I exercise after midnight during one waking cycle and before midnight the next waking cycle, it counts as the same day of exercise. At midnight, my to-dos from the next waking cycle clutter my current list. My phone and watch want to update during the middle of my waking cycle.
Just let me set the "rollover to the next day" function to the middle of my sleep cycle. Like noon. Obviously the calendar date should roll over at midnight which is a little wonky. But you can always mark to-do dates and exercise dates as the date your wake cycle starts. Like if I exercise between noon on 11/25 and noon on 11/26, just mark that I exercised on 11/25.
