I'm a woman with rather small wrists

So far I love this watch! I'm a woman with fairly small wrists, but I really wanted a watch with the ability to take calls. What disappointed me the most was the battery life. Today I set the clock (fully charged) to noon. At 3:30pm the battery was at 15% ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I used it to answer a call less than 5 minutes and send two text messages. Big disappointment! Yesterday I just sent an SMS and it took about 9 hours. So that's a HUGE downside. But I made a deal with him and knew the battery life was a scam. This watch is absolutely beautiful and I love the OS. The only thing I have yet to figure out is how to view past texts. I think you can only see the latest text message if it's a new notification, which is annoying. I know there are 3rd party apps to solve this problem and just trying to find a good one. In general, I'm a fan! Just hoping I can figure out how to optimize battery life as it takes forever to charge. The magnet for the charger is also quite weak and cannot withstand any shocks.
