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 2. I just charge it while I'm showering every day. Sometimes I'm slow and I get to 100%, other times only 90%. When I wake up in the morning, I always have more than 70% left.

I don't have any particular power savings enabled. I have the always-on display turned on, and keep the watch "alive" for 70s instead of 2s. I work out for about 45 minutes a day without any power-saving settings. I interact with the display somewhat regularly (always checking on my stand credit).

Basically, you will not have any battery life problems.
