> But it won't charge that quickly. :(

Long time Apple Watch owner, currently using the Series 4 - charging while in the shower is exactly how I charge my watch. It has never run out using this way.

I read this comment 10 minutes ago and until it clicked for me just now I assumed you had some kind of weird in-shower charging device.

Or just really, really long showers.

Some people are in and out of the shower in less than 5 minutes, others 60 minutes.

Shower takes 5m, shaving in shower +3m, dressing an additional 5m. Add in breakfast and/or coffee and you’re looking at close to 30m - grab watch on the way out - my series4 is usually fully charged.

Quite a lot happening in the morning, before you go out. Those are many steps which are not reported on the daily summary.

I guess I am always rushed, What you described as 30m schedule takes me less than 10.

Same here. I sleep with the watch on and charge it while I shower/get dressed. I usually get a full charge during that time and, most times, the watch lasts way more than 18 hours.

I also charge it while doing my morning routine, though that includes making lunches, some coffee, showering, etc. It can easily last through to the next morning, though occasionally I charge for a bit in the evening just to make the number look better.

I imagine as the battery fades this might be less workable though.
