Ahead of the official Apple Inc. AAPL Watch announcement, speculation is rampant. Tech Crunch reported last week that the battery life is better than expected, noting that during a "normal day of on-and-off use, the battery usually ends up at around 25 percent." JP Morgan's Rod Hall confirmed this view, according to the firm's conversations.

What does this mean? According to Hall, the wearer can "workout or game in full power mode and still make it through the day." Hall implied that this, combined with a full charge time of two hours, will help Apple market the watch.
