The design is beautiful but the battery life is really not that great

I was a little worried at first coming from the 6 that doesn't have the square background but once I put the 8 on it doesn't bother me any. Battery last a lot longer now which is nice!! Get the leather band it makes the watch a 100 times better
I have had my watch for about 2 months & last night I charged my watch and then pick it up during charging to wear to bed and it would not cut on. Next morning still not on so I reset it still had a hard time for it to turn on. Finally I cut my phone off turned back on and reset my watch then it finally restored my information back to my watch. Don't know what happen but I really had a hard time getting it to come back on. This should not have happened with it being so new
