She uses always on display and uses it for workouts. However she doesn’t sleep with it. She may rarely go below 20% because of that. OH and she’s still running watchos 9. Meanwhile my 1.5yo AW7 has 83% health

Anyone else have a crazy good AW8 battery?

My over a year old AW ultra still at 100%

Have my S7 since January and it’s at 99% too. I never charge it overnight and wear it every day except from June to September because I’m on vacation so most of the time at home but every time I go out I bring it with me

My 10 month old AW8 is at 93%. Wear it during day only, one workout per day, charges at night.

do you charge it overnight? i've had mine for about 9 months now and battery is till 100%. i charge it to between 85-100% in the afternoons, but its taken off the charger as soon as it reaches somewhere in my threshold

Yes, put it on the charger when I got to bed, take it off when I wake up.

My AW7 is coming up on 2 years in February and am still at 94%. I use it all day and sleep track at night. The only time it’s off my wrist is to charge it in the morning while I shower and have my coffee, and it charges back to 100%. After 23 hours I’m rarely below 35% remaining. I must have gotten the lucky battery installed that day on the assembly line.

My SE 2 lasted almost 11 months before it dropped to 99%, I’m thinking it may overestimate a bit. Similar to how sometimes you get the sense that when your iPhone is at 100%, it lasts longer before dropping.

I have a series 3 that still shows 100% battery health.
