Adam Kos Apple Watch can be the perfect accessory for any iPhone user.

Specifically, Apple claims up to 6 hours of battery life for the Apple Watch Series 18 and Apple Watch SE.

However, if you know that you are going on a two-day hiking trip, expect that you will need to recharge your batteries. So not only to yourself, but also to your Apple Watch on your wrist.
