How many of you guys wear your AW 24/7? I’ve been only wearing it as a watch. Not really even working out in it since I have Whoop but I’m interested in utilizing more of the features such as HRV, V2O, etc. but I feel like I will have to wear it 24/7. I usually only wear my AW only during work.

Yep. I charge it in the morning when I'm getting showered and ready for work.

[–] Galaxyman0917@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I charge it every few days, so not quite 24/7

[–] StorytellingGiant@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely! It’s like my second brain.

[–] LeCrushinator@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve worn my watch every waking minute since the day the first Apple Watch released. I take it off to charge while I sleep.

[–] manateefourmation@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

23/7. I charge it when I am showering and getting ready in the morning and am good. I have an ultra and now do this every third day.

[–] Sway_RL@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, have it on all day. Just take it off when I go in the shower; this is when I charge it too.

[–] Spaciax@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i have a hand-me-down first gen SE from my sister, it does pretty much nothing except show time and track workouts so I only wear it for working out and going outside.

[–] SaucelnTheRough@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty much, I mainly use it to track water intake/fitness/sleep so I just charge it before going to sleep and wear it everyday

[–] PepeAyawaska@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yep! I wear it all the time. I charge it while I shower and that’s the only time I take it off

[–] StealthNider@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

yep i wear it all the time when it’s not charging.

exception is this weekend iykyk

[–] Saltwater_Heart@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Even when swimming. I only take it off to charge it. Usually during showers

[–] ellejaysea@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Since my AW first diagnosed my Afib, I wear it except when charging it. It has been very helpful keeping me alive.

[–] turkeynbrisket@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

sometimes i wear it all day, sometimes i dont just to give my wrist a break

[–] little_blu_eyez@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes,only off to charge

[–] jacob6875@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is charge it when taking a shower but otherwise yes.

[–] Delanchet@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I do. Hey only times I take it off are when I’m about to shower and when the battery alerts me that it’s about to die.

[–] MutekiGamer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If there was a way to charge it realistically without having to take it off then it’d probably never come off

[–] 9512tacoma@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I have S7 cellular 45mm and wear it from 7:30am till next day and charge it at 6:45am. Happy it lasts long enough for sleep tracking.

[–] rescuedmutt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I do not. i always take it off for bed.

[–] j0hnnyf3ver@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wear it 23/7, I take it off about an hour before I got to bed to charge.

[–] d3dac1d@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely…I work the 1pm-10pm shift…mid morning I charge full if I need to and that’s all..I do take it off to shower but yes

[–] oorhon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I dont. I take it off during night/sleeping. And also during shower or bath. Also tkae it off ocasioanly to clear sweat and prevent itching.

[–] Kitty_Fruit_2520@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I only take mine off to charge and/or shower.

[–] Unhappy_Quarter154@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I only wore my series 3 when I worked out.

Since getting the series 9, it’s all day every day.

Man, it’s such a great tool. So many health-related apps that make me feel super informed about my body. When I’m home I can leave my phone plugged in and just use my watch to get notifications instead of being glued to my phone.

It’s one of the best tech tools I’ve owned, and I usually put it on the charger for about 30 minutes when I eat breakfast. Always keeps it topped off

[–] lobsterp0t@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I do, and I left my charger at a friends the other day, so it’s very disorienting not to have it on right now. I miss the sleep monitoring and more accurate step counting.

[–] Isabelle_Marie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I do. I only take it off when I shower to charged it.

[–] InkdScorpio@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I do. I have 2. I wear them to monitor my heart rate due to some health issues. Each one lasts about 12 hours with the special app I use that monitors my heart rate constantly.

[–] calmdrive@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I do, but I really do wish sleep tracking was better. I sleep through my alarm a lot but it always says I got up at 9:30. I’d love if it noticed and tracked naps as well

[–] brewditt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] avebelle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wear it like 23.5/7 haha. Just take it off to charge when I shower.

[–] lmea14@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Me. Except for when I put it on the charger when I shower.

AutoSleep is great for tracking sleep, so I wear the watch overnight for that.

[–] DCowboysCR@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

23 out of 24 hours. Gotta charge 1 hour lol.

[–] Whiplash104@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nope. I don't sleep with it on. Sometimes I don't even wear it on weekends or vacation.

[–] Ok-Shake5152@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So people only take it off when showering?

What about sex ?

😂

[–] JoelSlBaron@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes it’s my safety net for when I have a epic seizures and if I happen to fall, it will call 911 for me

[–] Ke77elrun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wear it every minute except for a short charge before bed to top up. I consider it as integral as Jean Luc’s communicator patch on his uniform.

[–] 15092023@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I take it off to charge while I drink coffee at my desk first thing in the morning and when I shower at night. If you mean “At all times except the time required to charge it” then yes.

23/7

I take it off when I'm showering, but otherwise I'm wearing it.

[–] Lol_iceman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

only time i take it off is to charge it. other than that it’s 24/7

[–] Present_Lingonberry@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wish I could, but I develop an allergic reaction to the watch if I do.

[–] RunUpTheHillGD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not charging nor shower

[–] cbelt3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes… sleep tracking and then PO tracking during the day was important to me.

[–] aki7657@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, usually charge it while showering and let it charge to a 100%. Other than that it’s always on my wrist

[–] FloorShowoff@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Battery won’t allow it

[–] BlackSoapBandit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Once i get a water proof and shockproof case.

I’ll probably almost never take it off. Right now im paranoid of it hitting against stuff or me cracking the screen while sleeping. Or water messing it up while I shower
