    Hi, I have the 42mm stainless.  I haven't been able to get the battery below 20% yet, and it always charges full within 2 hours.

    Thanks for that Gronggrong!

    I just got my 42mm Watch with Milanese loop yesterday.... Set it up and used it down to about 30%. Went to bed and put it on the charger overnight.... But was curious how long a "full" charge ( from about 20%) would be, in case I needed to "top-up" during the day. I downloaded the user guide and read it from cover to cover. No mention of charge time, but I'm confident I know how to use the watch.

    Congrats!  The Milanese Loop will be my next purchase (I got the black sport band).  I have to add that I have fallen asleep several times while still wearing the watch, and wake up to find it merrily humming along.  Then I take it off and charge it while getting ready for work.  I think if you plan to use it heavily, maybe carry the charger with you just in case, but I've not found battery life to be problem at all--yet.  Quick example: I put it on at about 9am this morning, and 14.5 hours later it's at 58%, which covers 2 workouts, all notifications and responses, numerous glances, and bothering Siri a few times

    Thanks again... I've been using it all day today and it's now 1:15AM and time to go to bed. There's 31% left, and I've been heavily messaging and talking through it and getting lots of notifications and reading news, checking glances, email, weather plus using the remote for Apple TV and Music, and more..... I'm really surprised that the battery life is as good as it is... I don't foresee any problems. I was deliberately pushing the watch today and having conversations with Siri to check the battery life. I'm thrilled. And if you haven't used the Watch with the iPhone's camera, that's really cool! Once again, thanks for the initial response.
