Apple Watch SE battery only charges to 75-80

How do I know when my battery is going to need replacing on my Apple Watch SE. It charges to 75 or sometimes 80% max these days.

Charging level and battery health are two different things and they should not be confused.

I am not confusing them. I am well aware of the difference.


What BulletJules
says is that he cannot charge the battery more than 75 or 80%. Battery health should not restrict the charge level an any way.

Batteries with low maximum capacity can function erratically.


But you should certainly give the OP any information you think is more pertinent.
