The wearable will last for around 18 hours off a single charge, but the larger 42mm edition is said to perform better in this regard.
The 18-hour figure is based on the performance of an Apple Watch that was paired with an iPhone via Bluetooth and used for 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use and a 30-minute workout with music playback.
Additional trials showed that the Apple Watch will last for 6.5 hours when streaming audio over Bluetooth and up to three hours when handling voice calls. A workout test where the user's heart-rate was constantly monitored lasted for seven hours.

Users can check the time five times per hour for four seconds each go for up to 48 hours, and Power Reserve mode will kick in when the battery is low, allowing users to tell the time for an additional 72 hours.
The Apple Watch takes two-and-a-half hours to fully recharge, reaching 80% battery life within 90 minutes.
It is also water-resistant to the IPX7 standard, meaning that it can be submerged at 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
Apple announced during its 'Spring Forward' event on March 9 that the Apple Watch will be released on April 24, with pre-orders commencing on April 10.
