Smartwatches are great. They track your steps throughout the day, keep important texts and emails just a quick glance away when your phone isn't within reach, and they even help monitor important health details like heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. But as fantastic as a smartwatch may be, these modern wearables meet their match in one major category, and that's their battery life. As with any smart product, the fun ends when the display goes dark — but it stings a little bit more with watches, knowing you could be wearing a traditional timepiece, and never have to stress about a dead battery turning your smart device into a dumb paperweight.
