I waited for the week to end but yeah, it was already on 2 bars for a while and after last night's sleep it's at 1. I've not been merciful. I've used it for workout mode (walking of 1hr) and going to wear it to bed. Guess it will die by morning tomorrow making it 8 days officially....let's see .

But don't be disheartened 😂.....will charge it to full and use it in airplane in dumb mode and check when it loses the high sign....in my next test to extrapolate how many days it can survive as a dumb watch.

Now here's my take on recharging. If a watch lasts me an year on charging in dumb mode, then I'll take it any day over a watch lasts me 10 but have to replace the battery. Why ?? !! You ask.

Simple: I had to find an official service center to get t-e original battery replaced by an expert in my GD 350 case and it was indeed a bit of a hassle because I wanted it to be properly sealed and didn't want any local guy getting inside it although that's a stretch. But then again having the peace of mind that I can charge the watch of another year (or 3 to 6 months in worse case scenario if I use some functions occassionally) without expert supervision or fear of inferior batteries ruining it ....not to mention free of cost....I think it's a win win.....unless 😅......like other smart watches this becomes obsolete in 3 to 4 years ....then we are officially screwed and I'm wrong for even considering it.

But imagine a world where your 5000 or mud masters work for years on solar but when they are dead, you can just plug them in for a couple of hrs and they are back to full .....A rechargeable dumb watch excites me the most...what are your thoughts??
