My friend's outstanding battery life. How?

[hovscorpion12]

No one believes me. I know. I am the most minimalist at heart. I do answer phone calls, reply to texts, read/delete emails. My 42mm stainless steel goes for almost a week. I charged my Apple Watch Saturday night, last night when I turned it off to go to bed it was at 80% same as my iPhone.

when I turned it off to go to bed

This is probably why you get great battery life, you turn it off at bed time.

You set your watch to airplane mode most of the time? That's like impossible battery life 😱

It is impossible 🙄

I was hoping for some magical combination of settings that can get me that much mileage 🙁

Well yes, there is a magical setting, as you said before, airplane mode 😀

What face and complications do you have? I'm starting to think that complications impact battery life.

Weather (temperature), battery percentage, and agenda.

I'm not a heavy user. It is what it is, a Watch. occasionally i'll check the time. when I feel a notification I will read/reply/delete. I rarely use my third party apps. I have them, but never use them. Mostly through glances.

I went about 18 hours yesterday and when I finally plugged it I had about 25% left, that was after an hour and half workout. I'm basically pleased with that, I would prefer a higher percentage but overall, if I put it power reserve mode, it would have lasted the night.

Yesterday I had 40% left at the end of the day , that the lowest I had with watchOS 2 beta 5 now hahaha.
I have it on for 3 hours and 10 minutes, and its going strong on 96% now.

Nice, I've been kicking around the idea of the beta but ultimately I figure I can wait a month (or two).

I did a beta for the iPhone once but it was a mess.

Love that new avatar! Hope you are enjoying your new Apple Watch!

(I have behaved lately) only one slip🙄

The latest beta's are pretty good!

Good to hear. Looking forward to lots of improvements in the watch's OS.
