I find myself in the opposite direction. I have had Apple Watches since Series 0 Gen 1 and recently on Series 8. I enjoy the polish and smoothness of Apple Watches. They're actually quite excellent when it comes to my jogs/runs with the easy interface, esp for music. BUT, I absolutely HATE the battery or should I say lack of battery. Like Harrish, the AOD is off, the wake gesture if off and I even have low power on but it still can't make it to 2 days. So I started using the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and it's battery is much better. I can make it to 3 full days with everything on. I am seriously looking into the Garmin Venu 3 or the Amazfit GTR4. They advertise battery of up to 15 days!!! My Apple Watch days are coming to an end.
