Which watch for all day plus sleep tracking (alien.top)

I am getting more into sleep health and want to better understand my sleep habits so I have been looking at the Apple Watch.

If I spend the money on an Apple Watch I want to also be able to use it all day but I am realistic in that I know it has to be charged too.

I am leaning towards the series 9 but see that it is good for about 18 hours and then needs about 1.5 to get a full charge.

What are your routines to use your watch all day but also be able to get good sleep data?

TIA

I have the Ultra 1. I charge it for 20 to 30 minutes a night while I shower. This is almost always enough to get it to 100%. I charge it for maybe 45 minutes if I’ve had an especially active day.

I use about 5% to 10% of my battery for 7 to 8 hours of sleep with Sleep Focus on.

I exercise daily for a minimum of an hour (Exercise mode on).

I have Rise to Wake but do not use Always On.

I end my day (next shower / charge) with between 33% and 25% of my battery used. If I’m going on an overnight trip, I don’t even need to bring my charger. I don’t think I’ve ever used even 50% of my battery in 24 hours and that includes days I’ve been very active and tracked 3-5 hours of exercise.
