As the much-awaited Apple tech timepiece is set to launch next year, Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed inadvertently that users may only get a day's use before needing to recharge it.

While trying to evade a discussion on Apple's new watch's battery life, Cook said that tech enthusiasts will use it so much that they will end up charging it daily. However, his statement has fuelled speculations about the gadget's battery life as it has been a key concern for the company ever since the watch was unveiled on September 9, reported The Daily Star.

Although Apple is confident that their watch will be received well by users yet uncertainties about its battery life persist. Many other smartwatches in the market have similar issues with their battery life.

The device will bring alerts and notifications directly to the user's wrist and will also act as a health tracker and a Walkie Talkie.
