Hey,

Does anyone know how long the S10's battery (non-cellular) would last when navigating on a bicycle using a .gpx file? Ideally the screen would be on the whole time, but tapping it to wake would be fine too.

I've never owned an Apple Watch so I don't even know which app I should use to do this so, I can't help with that.
Its pretty useless, especially on a roadbike with drop bars you wont be able to see it and its so tiny you will run into accidents.

Get a garmin/wahoo or other brand bike computer for navigation.

Yeah I use the app work outdoors and S10 46mm and get good 5-6 hours with map on full brightness when using a GPX mountain biking

WatchOS 26 has killed my battery life. I’ve even re-paired it and still bad. Quite frustrating.

My launch day Series 10 dropped to 97% battery health. How are your watches holding up?
Now at 96% after watchOS 26 Update. My moms S10 is at 99% and she uses it everyday like I do. We both try to not charge past 90% to reduce the wear on the battery, but I can't tell, why she has 3% more health on her battery.

My watch displays nearly every time the information that charging was on hold due to heat. Do you have this information on your watches as well?
 
I wouldn´t fret over single percent points, probably there is some imprecision in the measurements, too. My Series 7 is at 76% health and still holding a whole day with normal use. I just end the day at 10-20% instead of 20-30% as I used to.
 
My S10 ist at 92%, bought on launch day 2024. Used and charged daily since then. Not sure, if that's still ok?
 
My launch day series 10 is a 93% battery health, but it is pretty much on my wrist unless it is charging, so I guess that "Optimised charge limit" doesn't apply as my usage is to charge it then put it straight back on.
 
My Apple Watch 10 has started dying before I go to bed.
It’s only 6 months old, it’s a replacement after the first one got water damaged in April.
wondering if I’ll stop wearing it.. after years wearing it, it’s useful but I’m really tired of wearing the same thing.
