Just got an apple watch 7 41mm today. Overall love it. But ive heard that the battery is meant to last 18 hours?

It was 50% when i opened it, and it got to 20% in 6 hours (mind me that it was hardly used. On my wrist and glanced at with always on display.

Honestly that didnt really bug me, however i slapped it on charge until 80% and just saw it go from 70% to 66% in the matter of minutes.

BH is 97%, so it it just the case if watchOS 10 bugs? Will it get better?

I also got my Apple Watch 7 41mm last week! Drain was bad for a few days. It seems better now. Charging is really fast though so I don’t mind even needing to top it up a bit if I have to go out while I get ready. Anyhow workout battery drain is way better now than last week so I’m assuming it just calibrated properly. I’m sure your battery will adjust itself too.☺️

Charging is painfully slow on mine. Use it with an apple usb c brick and it takes around 30 minutes to charge 60%.

The 10.2 beta 3 is looking good though, might update ti that. People have reported the battery is much better on it

oh really? what adapter? 20W?

[–] ironshadowy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yup. The 20W adapter.

Its honestly very annoying. I updated to 10.2 beta 3 in hopes for better battery life and will update once i go bed and let sleep tracking do its thing.

Took off charge an hour ago at 86% and its 76% as of now. So seems ok but it might drain quicker.

I could try a battery recalibration but doubt it would do anything
