I have a Series 7 and I charge it on my commute to and from work. I also keep a charger at my desk in case I forget.

I still have a 7, apparently battery life is just getting better and I charge mine every other night. I get two full days and two nights before charging. Ymmv

I bought an Ultra specifically for the longer battery life. Sleep tracking has helped me become a better sleeper.

I take off my watch to charge it and boom, it lasts when I need it to. Pretty wild how that happens.

Bought an S9 on Black Friday after some time wearing Casios now I’m back. I also bought it for sleep tracking and regular use - I rarely do workouts, so I know that takes up a lot of battery life.

So far, it’s lasted 2 days on one charge. I normally don’t let it die completely, since I like to have enough juice to wear it at night. It’s got raise to wake on and I’ve tried to turn off somethings that will drain the battery - if anyone has any tips on what drains, please help me here, sometimes I really don’t know what to turn off, lol.

And it charges quite quick I think, about less than an hour it’s good to go. Don’t be fooled by the ‘faster charge’ on the 8 and 9 models. It’s literally 15’ faster on a charge than the regular one, it’s really a joke, if you ask me. A ‘faster charge’ would be like 30 minutes vs an hour imo, but it is what it is.

Overall it’s an all day watch really. Apple Pay is absolutely perfect and blazing fast, watch faces are great, all apps I need work perfectly well, the larger screen is great and the S9 is a good watch if you wanna track your sleep, since it’s not uncomfortable to wear at night.

I have a series 9 that I use for all day and all night tracking. I charge it while I shower or while I’m making/eating breakfast

No offense, but I don’t believe people saying they get two days out of the normal Apple Watch. Maybe if you have the display off and never look at it. What’s the point of having it then? Also, every battery gets worse over time. So if you maybe get a full day and night out of it now, that might not be the case in a few months.

I’d say, get the watch you want and incorporate charging times into your daily routine

I just got a series 9 last week and I turned off the always on display. My battery probably lasts around 1.5, maybe 2, days. I usually charge it every day though for about 30 minutes. I use it for sleep tracking and workouts.

I have a series 8 and I charge it in the evenings when I put my kid to bed. Takes an hour or less.

My series 6 lasts about a day and a half with regular use + workouts

I have the SE and can wear it for 2+ days without a proper charge if I just charge it when I shower in the evenings. :)

Ultra

A Garmin

I bough the Ultra 2 just for this reason. It goes just about 3.5 days. I last charged it in Friday at 3pm and I just charged it for the first time since then. It tracks my sleep every night. I use the Auto Sleep app.

With my Series 8, I would charge up fully before bed, then put it on the charger while getting ready in the morning, where it would usually hit about 95% charge.

Wear it all day at work (8:30 - 4:30), and getting home in the evening, it would usually be at anywhere from 65-75%.

Just bought the Ultra 2, and don’t have to worry about that anymore. I’ve been able to wear it pretty much a day and a half without charging it at all, and it’s still at around 35-40%. Very happy I decided to get the Ultra.

I use it for tracking sleep, going to the gym, and even approving 2FA requests at work. It’s been a lot more versatile than I thought when I initially bought it.
