It was mostly tongue-in-cheek. But I was basing it off 500 charge cycles which is what the iPhone battery is rated for. I just checked and the Apple Watch battery is rated for 1000 cycles so that’s about three years. I’m impressed that your watch battery is still lasting a day, do you use sleep tracking? And do you think your Apple Watch would still last a day if you did 45 minutes of outdoor activity using GPS?
Ah, sorry, didn’t spot the tongue position. No, I don’t wear it in bed. I did a 4 hour cycle with it last weekend though, and though it was grumbling about me needing to charge it before bed - it made it to midnight. So I would say long GPS sessions do tax it, but my regular 40 monute runs don’t bother it much.
That’s great to hear. I‘ve had an Apple Watch SE for 2.5 years but it was replaced on warranty a year ago. I noticed, before it was replaced, that the battery life was still usable but had declined noticeably. Hopefully I’ll get a good few years out of the warranty replacement.
