69% usage in almost 36 hours. Battery life was horrendous with OS10 but with the latest update it has gotten better to say the least. I’m outdoors for work (4-6hrs), have pedometer, activity rings and weather complications, battery health at 91%. Also do up to 4 workouts a day (morning routine + cycle to work and back + evening gym); my watch gets used.
Also, given my usage would an Ultra make more sense or just stick to the S7?
Do you find yourself needing to charge more often than you prefer? Are there features specific to AWU other than longer battery that you’re interested in?
I just needed to replace my S4, looked at all my options and got a (refurb) stainless steel 7 that has 90% battery health, because ultras are too big for my preference, and nothing offered in the S8 / S9 was worth the added expense. Now I still have the 4 as a backup for those rare times I need a watch while the S7 is charging, and we will see what watch SX brings next year if my 7 battery health is lagging in a year. And even then 99$ for a new battery is pretty affordable for such a pretty watch!
do you have AOD off?
Yes, but that’s due to my uniform requiring long sleeves.
It’s lasting you a day and a half. If you want an Ultra get one. But it’s not because you can’t make it through a very active day. You’ll need a different reason, like, I want an Ultra even though this S7 is more than doing the job for me.
Having issues with my watch bricking whenever I use a card in my Apple wallet, wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue
