In regard to your comment that "you have to charge it daily," I have a built-in solar charger on my Citizen Eco-Drive watch. Maybe Apple will incorporate something similar. The solar charger and small accompanying battery will allow the watch to run for something like three months without a charge (i.e., in a dark area without any light whatsoever). It recharges in full sunlight in about 20 minutes or less.

Many wearable devices can also be charged from a USB port, either on a smartphone or a computer or tablet. Thus, if you wanted to share files or update certain files by plugging into a USB port, or something similar, you could also charge the battery at the same time.

1) you have to charge it daily... its probably on your charger?
Which is a far better solution than having to wave your arms around like a deranged Chicken to charge the thing.

That feature alone will make it better than my Grandfather's Rolex!

2) you can use your iPhone or Mac to make it beep

Now what Apple should do:

(Here we go. Again.)

This freaking mess of charging wires.

Wireless charging.

I'll bet if Steve was still around, we'd be charging wirelessly.

Maybe with our brain waves.

Now back to reality, although I think wireless charger pad is a good idea for Apple.

Oh you know where my charger is?

Is it next to my glasses?
