New watch due soon?

[Trig]

Did an update a couple of weeks ago and now noticing that I’ve lost a good chunk of battery life..

September/October for Apple Watch X probably.

The Ultra didn't change much last year so may be due more changes this year.

I’m struggling to get more than 24 hours out of my 7 now, noticeable drop since the last update…

No change to the battery life on my Ultra 2. The intelligent charging charges it to a percentage (I don’t remember if it’s 70% or 80%), I use it for two days and it’s normally just around 20% when I put it on charge at the end of the second day.

I'm dropping ~25% while I'm in bed, pretty noticeable when you're out at an event doing long days...

I use my Ultra 2 for sleep tracking, and at least 1 or 2 workouts a day. If I charge up to about 90% while I shower in the morning, by the next morning I'm down to at least 50%. I used my series 4 for the day last week, and it went from 90% -> 10% in 1 day.

 

[Karl]

Thought I'd give it a proper run out, charged it up to 100% and put it on at 3.30pm on Tuesday.
Tracked 1 long walk Tuesday evening (about 4 miles), then another 2 or 3 workouts on Wednesday.

Just put it on charge today (Thursday) at 1pm, as it let me know it's just hit 10% battery, and I need to charge it before I go do another workout.

Not bad.

Edit: put it on charge for 20 mins, now have 50% battery.

if an update is causing you battery issues, it’s probably best to reset the watch as new and set it up again ? Maybe some code went awry during the update?

 

[Illusion]

I can’t say I’ve noticed a drop in battery on my series 7 but I no longer wear it overnight so ~18 hours a day is fine

Weren’t there rumours the new watches would have bigger screens? That could be a reason to upgrade for me

Series 2 still going strong here. Easily runs through the day, just charge overnight. Haven’t felt like I’m missing features from newer models, more a bit of responsiveness and better screens etc I guess. Why upgrade.

Yeah same really pleased with the performance of the Ultra 2 just wish it was a bit more durable I haven't done anything crazy and the Titanium fascia has a couple of scars already...

Yep mine too. Owned it 3 months. It's always the way it goes with watches I wear. I can totally understand why people wear cases on them if they're clumsy like me
