Battery life 89% after 8 month of common use

Hi


I bought my Apple Watch Series 6 at late May 2021 and after 8 month of regular usage it show me 89% of battery life.

Support tell me that my Watch is absolutely fine.

I am expecting to have 80-85% when warranty ends.

This is ridiculous.


I am charging always with original charger.

I never discharge battery more than 20%.

I use them in a most common possible way.


Is it okay for Apple Watch to degrade so fast?

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

Apple Watch - Battery - Apple

“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:

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:

FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)

Also, some people have found that simply waiting a few days after an update resolves the battery draining problem.
