I got an Apple refurb iPhone 7 couple of weeks back after my SE died. I judge battery life on what I come home with at the end of work day. My SE I came home with around 60%, on my previous 6s around 50, on the 7 I am lucky to come home with 30%. All with the same usage.

The 7 was even set up as a new phone.

Attached are some pics. Any ideas?

Yep, everything is OK. Got almost the same results on my 7 with the same usage. Takes more if watching a lot of videos, less if only messages/calls, but 70% +-5% is avarage per day.
 
That is amazing iPhone 7 battery life! That’s what mine looked like when it was brand new on iOS 10. Now my battery is at 87% health (almost 2 years old) and I’m down to 62% after work and that’s with only 2 hours usage in a low signal area.

Also pretty cool he gets to listen to Spotify and podcasts all day. Cool job bro.
