I've written what features I think future all-in-one wearables will have, took a second look at that on the eve of the Apple Watch launch, and had some questions about what Apple left out of their presentation after they launched. All things considered, if you look at what features I think need to be in a smart watch, and what Apple delivered, there are some gaps. Most important to me are the following: Battery life needs to last longer. Battery charging needs to be simpler. Real water resistance would be nice. More health sensors are needed to replace the need for a separate fitness band. There are definitely improvements possible in the looks department. Let's take a look at these in turn: Battery Life Until the watch launches early next year we won't know for sure, but it seems clear the battery life of the Apple Watch is not particularly good. Apple reps have mentioned charging overnight, meaning the battery likely doesn't last more than 24 hours (and possibly not even that long).
