I’ve also had mine since gen 1 and really is the first watch I’ve worn everyday (even gifted it on when I’ve upgraded). I tend to wear mine on a night as the alarm utilises the haptics on the watch so it wakes me up but not the wife.I absolutely love mine. Had had them since the original gen 1 Apple Watch. Moved from a Tag. Not as stylish as the Tag, but the convenience is amazing.
In relation to charging, yes, it needs charging every night. But I always used to take my Tag off at night, anyway, so there’s no real difference to taking my Tag off and putting it on the bedside table to taking off my Apple Watch and putting it on the charger on the bedside table.
A smartwatch is one of those things you don’t realise how useful they are until you have one and actually make use of the features. Yes, there’s nothing I wouldn’t be able to do with my phone, but the convenience is not having to take my phone out of my pocket.
I then just take it off when I wake up to charge it and put it back on when out of the shower (it doesn’t often get back to 100% but then again it never gets to zero either).
As @Cardo says, it’s also useful if I don’t want to take my phone out for whatever reason such as skipping a song when washing the car or just responding to a text with a quick response.
