It took about 40 minutes to charge from 23% to 100%. Now I know it will take about that much time to charge the Watch and I don’t need to monitor it if I don’t wish too.
Next I have 2 battery chargers made for the Apple Watch. I test each charger and see how longe to go fro 20% to 100%. One charger I can get about 8+ charging for the Apple Watch. The other charger hangs from your pants belt loop… about 3 charges.
FWI the Apple Watch can’t charge on a flat wireless battery pack.

It works very well. No need for a third party app.

So far the watch has only drained 4% in 3 1/2 hours. I have everything turned on. I normally get a 100 emails during the date and about 10 text messages. Well see if that has an impact on the battery.
What’s your point? I’m not telling people to use this app… am I? I use tools that I think do a better job that Apple provides. I all so get a notification on the iphone or ipad when the watch battery reaches 100% or when a device drops to 20%. Sometimes I need to unplug something and forget to plug it in. So what’s your point?
Besides showing a different graph of the charge of your Apple Watch compared with the Widget on iPhone, which does pretty much the same thing, does this app do anything more? I can't tell from what you've written if you are suggesting it improves battery life throughout a day?

I thought we were discussing ways to monitor charge on an Apple Watch. Isn't that the point? The fact that I suggested a different way of doing it doesn't mean I'm off-topic.
