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.
