My Apple Watch won’t stay charged for any longer than roughly 7 hrs. This is even with it being locked all day. I sent it back to Apple last year but they said it’s fine. It’s been like that from I first got it. I thought that’s just the way it was but after talking to other Apple Watch owners they said theirs lasts all day. Can you help as to why the charge life is so short?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:

Apple Watch - Battery - Apple

Apple Watch Battery and Performance - Apple Support


“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:
