I have an Apple Watch series 2 and I use about 20 to 30% of the charge during the day. Is it safe to leave it on charge overnight (up to 9 hours)?
Reason for the query is that I have recently had a bulging battery issue with an MBP (which Apple are repairing, thank you) and I'm am reading that this may be due to leaving it plugged in all the time and I'd rather this didn't happen with my watch.

Exactly. Because nothing will happen.

Interesting - my Late 2013 MBP had a battery cycle count of 45, well below the expected 1000 and there was a suggestion that keeping it continually plugged in contributed to the battery failure.
If there's something to look out for, Apple will put it in the doc.
You can charge as long as you want.
Watch will switch off automatically.

Really? I wonder why they didn't incorporate this feature in their other products?
They have. All apple products are safe to charge for long because they don't overcharge. It is a very useful feature to have and one which Apple should always keep!

Yes for all Apple products with the original Apple chargers and cables.
