In the specifications for the series 8 watch, the battery life is given as 18 hours. With AOD turned on what impact does this have on battery life?
Up to 18 hours of normal use
The AOD difference will be insignificant compared to the way you use the watch, and the life will vary from 12 to 24 hours between different users. Audo visual streaming will have the mist impact followed by excessive workouts with heart monitoring.
Thank you,
That was most helpful. So if I want to wear it almost all the time with continuous heart rate monitoring, 1 hour a day of GPS activity tracking, SPO2 during the night, along with sleep tracking, roughly 10 notifications a day... would charging for 30 minutes in the morning while I shower and 30 minutes at night before sleep work?
To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:
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:
Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple
You may get away with 30mins. I use about 50% if my SE battery (doesn't have AOD) in a day with similar use, 80 mins of workouts, but I don't use regular sleep monitoring. Charge all night in Nightstand mode.
Don't care about sleep quality at my age. Sleep in front of TV anyway.
