Same as before, 18 hours. But now it charges ‘up to 33% faster’.
All very lacklustre.

That 'same great 18 hours' is all I've heard.
The 18 hour estimate has always seemed quite conservative to me - I put my watch on charge when I get in the shower in the morning and it's charged by the time I get out. Twelve hours later it's normally around 60%.

Not seeing enough there to move from series 6.
Thinking about an update to my series 3 which is getting a it long in the tooth now and the battery life is quite poor.
Genuine question, why is there so much love for the cellular version? I’m just not my really sure why you’d want to spend £100 and then £10 a month for the benefit of not carrying a phone but still having a phone on you for those odd occasions.

I haven't noticed that much love for the cellular version. I guess people buy it if they see a use. Like you, I wouldn't spend a scandalous +£100 on the watch and then a few quid a month for a feature I'd rarely use. If there was no ongoing cost I'd probably eat the £100 just for the convenience. I do go running with my watch, so it would be occasionally useful if I needed to take a call or read a message.

Out of 20 people that could be bothered to vote, hardly conclusive lol...
Was there any need for that, I never said it was conclusive.
I asked why the love for the cellular from those who voted, the cellular version has just never appealed to me because of the upfront and ongoing costs giving a fairly niche benefit.

I can't see the point of an always connected watch myself, infact I have all notifications turned off on my current watch. We're far too 'connected' as it is without two devices on our bodies buzzing us. I can't see many reasons for cellular apart from some extreme sport reasons, but your probably have a specific watch for that and not an apple watch.

I would have thought that the lol at the end would have removed the need for the

Same here, probably going to stick to my s6 / 12 pro max until the next iterations

Can the people of Apple watch Series 6 give real life battery life? I love Apple gear but I had a Series 4 Watch and the battery life didn't last 12 hours. Apple said the device was functioning as it should!
Wanting to get a 7 but would like some assurances I'm not walking into the same trap

It's going to depend how long you have it on GPS. If you go for a 15 mile walk every day, the battery is going to struggle and you'll need a 'proper' fitness watch.

So if I walk for 90 mins a day is the battery going to last from 6am until 10pm? Previous one was on its arse by 6pm it was ridiculous

The series 6 (and thus I’m assuming 7 as well) has much better life than the 4 does, particularly with battery age degradation.
My wife and I usually go walking/running most days for an hour or 2. When we get back, hers has 70-80% battery left, yet mine is at 20-40%.
