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.

You're looking for: "last_value_CycleCount":xxx

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.

[Agile55]

U2 NIB from AAPL 12/24 used daily for either swimming/cycling or shooting & still 100%

 

[deckard666]

180 cycles and 100% battery life for my AW Ultra 2 - got mine 2nd hand off ebay Sept 2024.

No special treatment - normally lasts me a couple of days. I gym and swim most days with it - never (well like once a month I might) take calls on it or stream BT music from it though.

As i have said elsewhere it might be the best tech I have owned - not a ding or scratch and never failed to silently awake me for my 530am start in over a year.

 

[Adelphos33]

I couldn’t find my cycle count, but I’m sitting at 100% battery health on my Apple Watch Ultra 1 from February 2023. In terms of build quality and battery health, it is by far the best Apple device I have ever owned
