So i was a bit worried coming from a GPS series 4 after seeing so many bad (battery) reviews on the series 5. I just wanted to pop in here and give my experiences.
I wouldn’t say I am a “heavy user” but I do usually fill my rings, text and periodically make phone calls using my watch.
I average out from 6:30 AM to 10PM 60% left on my battery after I finish out the day.
I knew going to a cellular model and the AOD would be a bit harder on my battery, but I am happy to say I am finishing out the day with about 35-40% and this is using my watch as normal (I even made a 10 min.) phone call while my phone was not connected.
This is with AOD on of course, raise wrist to wake feature on (i’m not sure why people would want to turn this off) and Watch OS 6.0.1
So i guess in a nutshell, could battery bet better? Absolutely, is it as bad as some people are reporting? Not to me....
