Charged it at 7:55pm. Went to sleep with the watch woke up around 80%. It’s 2pm and it’s at 22%. I haven’t used the watch other than wear it to keep time. Its just doing the regular things like heart beat and tracking steps. Haven’t used it for work out or any of the other stuff. Battery health is at 99%. Just got this last week. Is this normal use? Thought it was quoted 36 hours battery life under regular use.

You’re just showing off your fancy shirt and fancy watch… Looks great though.
Power cycle it
I get two solid days with mine on the latest WatchOS.
As others have mentioned make sure you’re up to date. I had this issue recently with poor battery life. The fix for me was a restart of my iPhone first and then watch- hopefully this helps!
It’s definitely 10. I have been trying to update for three days now it is become unusable. I get 45 minutes to an hour tops.
After the latest update, everything works normally again. Before that update, it was those widgets that drained the battery significantly.
Just upgrade to new ultra 2 and you won’t complain anymore, new one keeps battery for 3 days by using the same features as you have mentioned, my own experience 🤓
It would depends of your usage and settings
watchOS version ?
My Series 5 battery seems to be dying more quickly also since the last update. I guess we have to watch (ha) it and see
I turned it off and on again after the uodate ajd it helped 100-20 after 10 hours and 2 hours of running
That did the trick! 6 hours in and only 14% used. Thanks!
Worth a shot!

10.1 was great and 10.1.1 such a massive disappointment, battery-wise

That sounds like a bug of some kind 🫤 i’d restart and then maybe even unpair and factory reset, then return to Apple if nothing changes.
This is probably the key, even though it does a restart with an update it’s always best to restart the device anyway I just clears out some crap that might be causing an issue
Update to 10.1.1, the most recent OS. It was designed to fix the rapid decrease in battery life seen in some models, IIRC, that includes the S9, which would include the ultra 2 as it’s the same chip. Regardless, that’s the first step to troubleshoot it. If it’s already on 10.1.1, try a hard restart, hold the button and crown down at the same time to get a restart.
I charge my ultra 2 every second day when it’s down at 35%
I lost 70% in less than a day today, used to get 3 days of battery
I also had extremely high battery drain today only my ultra 2

I went to the Apple Store and talked to one of the Apple Watch specialists and he said that he has the same issue. It is caused by the new update and they are currently working on fixing it
