1st and 2nd gen last for good 26-28 days (without GPS but with activity tracking in gym).
3rd gen is advertised to have 18 days.
It's all about display. 1st and 2nd gen use B/W LCD display, 3rd gen is AMOLED and it makes all the difference: nice and bright color display eats your battery.

Coming from Samsung Watch 7 and 8, which I rarely wear because of poor battery life, The 1 thing I really miss is text/email without a phone (which is fairly useful when I run/swim as I don't bring my phone).
It's a bit obsolete (even when I bought mine a year ago), but it's a good watch (in fact, I just bought 2 solars to give to my parents). These watches are very easy to use (due to a lack of features/non-touch screen and 5 physical buttons).

Frankly, I should have returned this watch and gotten another solar version. (Being an ex-watch collector, I tend to like different watches.) I keep this one on the charge cable all the time and don't usually wear it.
Supposedly, this watch can show picture text, which is why I bought it in the first place. It's been months and I've yet to test this feature. Maybe I'll test it right now....
let's see....
hmm, I don't know.. it shows a text with an image icon and a down arrow. I guess it doesn't display text image after all
oh, wait a minute. It's showing the image now. I guess BT is just slow. really slow compared to my Samsung watches.
