do they have a battery saving mode that increases how long they last ?

Series 4 = 7.11
Series 5 = 9.39
Series 6 = 8.13
Series SE = 9.24
Series 7 = 14.32

I got over 2 and half days with screen off. Day and a half on. Dropped considerably if I went for a run or actually used the thing. A nice as it was, any increased functionality over my Garmin just wasn't worth twice the cost and less than a 1/6th the battery time. I'm glad I tried one but for me they don't fill any purpose or made my life any easier.
Lord knows how you get 3 days out of a Galaxy 3. My sister is lucky to get 14 hours with screen on. Even more pathetic than the Apple Watch.

Got my 7 GPS out of the box about 3pm Saturday, straight onto my wrist with no charging and it's only just complaining about 10% battery.
That's a fair bit of screen time with fiddling with apps and things, but no exercise done during that time. Screen is always off and turn on with wrist tilt.

If you want battery life, look at the Withins stuff, I used to get near a month out of my old Steel HR, step tracking didn't seem as accurate as the Apple watch, however their sensors are medical grade if you want to go down the ScanWatch route..

Thats excellent, so far the best i got was day and a half with not fiddling, but with the screen on.
It's still clinging to life at the moment, with a red battery X at the top. Waiting for amazon to deliver my usb-c power brick
My series 3 is starting to die. acts like its not getting charged and then when it says it's fully charged it struggles to stat connected to my phone, freezes frequently and will only show the time in the top right corner.
Tempted to grab a series 7. Realistically I've had a very good run from this watch as I originally got the 2nd gen watch which broke on a holiday and when the holiday insurance cash came through, I replaced it with the S3 that just launched.
They're such unexciting purchases though but I can't cope being without a watch for a few days when the current one finally gives up all together

I've got a protector on mine, same make that I had on the Series 3, but the screen responsiveness isn't as good as it was with the same protector and the S3..
No.

I’m sure this has been discussed before but I’m trying to decide between the sapphire crystal and the ion x screens. Is the crystal worth the extra money? I’ve ion x at the moment and it’s gotten really scratched!

Where did you order the iPhone from? It’s in stock at John Lewis for delivery tomorrow and it comes with 2 years warranty vs 1 year from Apple.

Nice. You can’t beat the Apple eco system.
A quick question if i may.
On android phones, you get monthly security updates ect. do apple products inc watches ect get these or are they just now and again ?.
Cheers

Apple usually releases updates every 1 to 2 months with bug fixes and the occasional new feature, unless it's a major security issue then they tend push an update out pretty quickly. When they do those updates Apple usually releases those updates across pretty much all of their products at the same time so iPhone, iPad, Watch and Apple TV etc all come out the same day.
