Actually one of the best features of the apple watch is that it can wake me silently (so as not to wake my spouse) and I can adjust my alarm schedule on my phone (without digging through tiny menus, which are even worse on a Garmin).

So I have developed a habit of taking off my apple watch when I sit at my desk. By the first time I think to look at my wrist, it's charged.

I put it in sleep mode all night, and wake up with plenty of battery anyway.

It takes about an hour to charge, so I just schedule the same time every day to charge it (after I get home from work, while I eat dinner).

Sure it's one more thing to manage, but having it wake me up with vibrate every morning is worth the small hassle.
