But unlike headphones and your phone, you want to wear your watch at night to monitor sleep

At least that's a major selling point for these smart watches

Some people do. Personally I've had a smartwatch for some years and have never been interested in sleep tracking.

I only put it on when I'm leaving the house, so it generally has plenty of time to charge.

I charge mine (older Pixel Watch model) when sitting down and coding. Or when showering if on the weekend and not coding. It charges very quickly.

Just charge it while you're doing something lazy at night (reading, watching a show). 30mins and you're set.

I guess it's dependent on what you're using the watch for. I like the sleep tracking and various overnight metrics. Find keeping an eye on RHR and HRV is one of the best early signals for overtraining.
