Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2 owners - what is your battery health and (optional - guide included) cycle count?

[fezzzer]

I've been using my Apple Watch Ultra 2 every day since launch day (22nd September 2023) and have just ordered the Ultra 3. Which got me thinking...

I often check the battery health and cycles on my phone, but rarely for my watch. I'm currently at 87% for 394 cycles.

I consider myself a heavy user, but of course that's subjective.

You can get the battery health in Settings > Battery on the Watch.

Optional:

If you want to get the cycles, it's a bit trickier. You need to go to settings on the paired iPhone > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data.

You then need to look for the most recent analytics file which will look something like this: "Analytics-yyyy-mm-dd-xxxxxx.ips.ca.synced"

Then hit the share button. Save the file.

You might be able to open it in on your iPhone, but if not, textedit on the Mac will work.

I got my Ultra early October 2022 (I was traveling out of the country on order day and, if you remember, they got backordered fast.)

Health is 88%. I'll check cycle count later.

I just pre-ordered an Ultra 3.

Ordered AWU2 on Sep 26, 2023.
Battery Health (Maximum Capacity): 91%
Cycle Count: 269

I have to say that over the past 6-8 months, the battery has been draining faster, and I've had to turn AOD off to keep it going for two whole days, then recharge it by the second evening.
Before this, I would easily get two whole days (including nights as I sleep with my AWU) and for most part of the third day (I would have to recharge it when I came home from work).

I do plan to upgrade to AWU3 sometime in the next month.
