Well, depending on your use (and especially after the updates you'll get... ) you might stretch this puppy out for more than a day. With regular use for me I make it through a day without problems with about 30% left by midnight. However, if you're a REALLY heavy user, which you'll probably be for the first few days of toying with it, a daily charge will be needed, a mid-day one even. On a 'quiet' weekend, I've been able to make it last for almost two days, but that's with barely any notifications and just looking at it to tell the time.
As it stands, I still charge it every night now, even if it has 50% battery left at night. The battery is a 320mAh Lithium one, so no worries about memory effects or overcharging or wearing it out too soon (for Lithium batteries, whose life is measured in charge cycles, one cycle of 0 to 100% charge is the same as two charges from 50% to 100% or four charges from 0% to 25%... you get the idea). That being said, this thing charges fast. You can go from 0 to 100% in about an hour. Perfectly safe to leave it in the charger at night, and the night stand mode that kicks in while charging is actually pretty nice to have as a bedside clock.

Looks a bit dark in the sun but it does look cool.
