Hey everyone,
As requested by some, I tested out the Ultra 2 battery under various different settings to see how the battery life would fare.
Some of these include Always-On , wearing the watch to sleep, and Raise-to-Wake. This was done while wearing with normal day-to-day usage.
Here are some insights from the test:
- By turning off ‘Always On Display’, ‘Raise to Wake’, and forgoing sleep usage, you can achieve a ~20% longer battery life.
- Using the watch for sleep, having the ‘Always On Display’ and ‘Raise to Wake’ enabled can reduce battery life by ~33%.
- Using the watch for sleep tracking reduces battery life by approximately ~8%.
- Having ‘Always On Display’ and ‘Raise to Wake’ activated together can contribute to a ~28% decrease in battery life.
The next test I’ll be wearing the Ultra 1 and 2 at the same time to see battery performance.

ultra 1 still going strong here… any advantage updating to 10.1 for older watch owners?
The Ultra 2 watch face uses more battery as well (at least I think so). I went back to my usual Infograph watch face and to me the battery life is much better.
Using the sleep focus, automatically turns off AoD and raise-to-wake, right?
