Apple Watch 6 battery life

Hi.

Batteries are consumable products. As batteries age, they lose battery health. Going down 1 or 2% per month if you are using and charging the device daily is not a problem. People get too tied up in looking at battery health. I tell you that you do not really need to look at it until you start experiencing a problem with the battery holding a charge.

Hi :)

I understand that and I usually charge the watch 2 in 2 nights but I think that it’s a little early for a battery decrease 1% in 2 months. Normally it just get notifications and fitness when walking. My worries is if I get a unit with a defective battery. Because I would want to have it at least for 2 years.

Why would you have to have a defective device for 2 years? If you have a defective device and it is a manufacturing or other Apple problem, they replace it under warranty. However, as far as batteries are concerned, Apple does not identify a problem unless the battery gets to 80% or below by the end of the first year.


If you are not experiencing a problem with charging the battery, I wouldn't look at battery health until close to the end of the first year. Don't look and it won't bother you. The Watch will tell you if it is having battery issues by not holding a good charge.

I shouldn't worry about 1%,when your battery health goes down to 80% it is recommended to replace the battery so your a very long way from that.
