I can't tell for the moment, I bought it this morning! But now it says 97% and I ended up charging around 11:30 when I posted.

Anyway, my S0 was dying. For example if I use it one day, I pick it up from the charger at 7-8 a.m., use it until 2 p.m. and then do a running workout (30 to 60 minutes) using the HRM, it dies around 3-4-5-6 p.m. so I have to charge it after running if I want to go later to the gym or do any other activity.

I hope this new one works better from here in advance :)

My S0 has been rocking from the day it was launched in Spain. I think it was in June 2015 so it has almost three years, used everyday and charged every night. The battery has suffered and has some degradation nowadays. So maybe it's not possible to compare in my case :) I hope the new one last more and doesn't need any extra charge at mid-day :)

Thanks!

You Will find new Apple Watch series 3 battery amazing. Yes, long enough to use (or standby, as per Apple stated) two FULL days without a recharge. The recharge also takes about 2-3 hours max. Not a big deal. As long as you don’t use LTE feature a lot, or GPS, you will be fine.

Yeah, now is 11pm here and after 12 hours of use it is at 79%. Very big difference with my old S0!

We will see how it works when I return to my “normal” life doing some sports and activities.

I want to try it on the swimming pool! :)

Thanks!

BR!

Several days after the purchase I am quite happy with the new watch.

The SS is quite more elegant and it is also OK to do some sports wearing sports bands.

The battery life is amazing in this thing, I usually end my days with 50% to 70%, even when I do some workouts.

GPS, Swimming and everything works OK in this new iteration of the product. It is very good for me coming from a S0 model.

Not tested yet the LTE connection, but hope soon I can say something about that!

Thanks to all again!
