That's if you can charge it. I (and a couple of friends) routinely sleep out of our own home for a couple or three days on a whim. We can easily come by Lightning or micro-USB chargers if need be but we'd be hard pressed to find a smartwatch charger†, which means a dead watch soon enough.
† Qi largely isn't popular enough, and even then if it were an Apple Watch it's been walled into only working with Apple's chargers.

Do you take spare underwear with you when you sleep at someone else’s house?
I'm still using my Series 0 on a daily basis. I use it for:
1. telling the time (duh)
2. as an activity tracker
3. unlocking my Mac
4. Apple Pay
5. Discreet notifications
As for battery recharging, it's a minor inconvenience but not a deal breaker. I thought it would be an issue but it isn't. A non-tech wise old man said "I'll just follow my routine and charge it by my bedside every night". Even if you don't follow the routine and forget about charging it, it recharges relatively quickly.
