I got this device when they first came out so it’s 4 years old now. With watchOS 10 and the snoopy or solar analog face my battery does not last all day (around 15-16 hours). I don’t know if it’s these watch faces or the battery or the Os. Any thoughts?? Thank you!
With the exception of the Ultras, Apple says, under ideal conditions, a Watch battery should last 18 hours. So, if your 4-year-old phone is still lasting 15-16 hours, I'd say you're doing well.
You can, on the Watch, go to Settings>Battery>Battery Health and look at the Maximum capacity for the battery. If it's less than 80%, it's time for a replacement battery.
I can think of two possible causes for the different battery discharge rates in different watch faces. Either or both could be in play.
I can’t edit my original post. I meant to say with a plane watch face (like simple or x-large)face it lasts 16 hours without going under 10% with minimal usage. With the snoopy or solar analog I’m at about 30% battery after about 11 hours and under 10% around 13-14 hours
You're getting remarkable battery performance on your Apple Watch. My Series 5 watch's battery has degraded to the point I had to turn off the Always On feature in order to get back to 18 hours battery life.
What is the “always on” button? Where do I find it?
