Same, except I have the cellular model. I do have the always-on turned off, primarily in the winter since I wear long sleeves / sweaters / jackets all the time - figuring I don‘t need the Watch to show the time when I’m not looking at it. I’m actually charging mine now, since I was down to 25% after 30+ hours on wrist and probably could have gotten away with waiting until end of day, but figured wearing while working out might have drained it down to zero before I was done.
Basically remove the always on display and ECG from a series 5 and there you have the SE. In the many countries where it doesn’t look like Apple will ever get clearance for ECG, such as Mexico, it looks like the SE is a better choice than the series 5 or even the series 6 since you get basically the same features at a lower price (the S5 is no longer sold by Apple, and if you are not going to get ECG anyway because your country isn’t giving Apple the required clearance then the always on display and oximeter aren’t really worth the extra money for a S6).
I was under the impression that the SE had the same processor as the S6, but I just checked Apple.com and E does have the S5 professor, so it does make sense now that these 2 models are affected ...
The only way I could get mine to update the last few times was by unpairing it, then pairing it as a new watch, then updating, then unpairing again, then pairing restored from backup. Nothing else cleared out enough room.
Obviously it can't be a problem since you aren't experiencing it!
I had to end up starting the update with the watch on my wrist, & let the iPhone app go all the way until it gave me a notification that the update is paused until the watch is placed on a charger. Then I put the watch on the charger and continued the update.
Sigh... that wasn't my point. I obviously know that many people are experiencing this problem. I am saying exactly what my comment read: I don't understand the problem. As in I have not experienced it, so I don't know what it's like to have it and hope that it doesn't happen to me with the next update. I wasn't denying the problem or that people are having it.
Extensive use of the exercise functions (with constant pulse measurements) knocks my S5 gps back quite a bit. I hit power reserve once or twice a week. I'm mostly daytime charging and sleep tracking too, so on wrist can be over 20 hours per day.
I have had the charging issue and it came out of no where. After having the watch for over a year with no issues. It started about a month ago when the watch would be on the charger and it just doesn’t charge. It looks like it’s charging, but the batter slowly drains to nothing. Then it takes a day before it’s ready to work again. Thought it was the watch. Updated the watchOS. No change. Took it to BestBuy and they said it was a bad battery. Apple sent a replacement. Same issue with that one. My third series 5 and second replacement is coming today. It has to still be a software issue.
