hi everyone,
about 5 months ago i bought a new series 3 nike watch. i wear the watch to bed for sleep tracking, and charge it for about 20 minutes each morning while showering. using the watch like this, i was getting almost 4 days of runtime.
a couple weeks back, my dad gave me his old LTE series 3 watch. i started wearing this watch instead of the nike as it is the stainless model, however, using/charging it the same way i'm only getting about 2 days runtime.
i currently have no cellular plan for the watch, so i don't think the problem is necessarily related to the cellular radio in the watch. i'd hope that it's powered down when there's no plan configured. i guess the LTE watch has more flash memory but would that burn so much extra power?
the stainless watch is actually a warranty replacement, as the original one died.
i wonder if the replacement is essentially refurbished and the prior owner (or my dad) thrashed the battery. or maybe there is just this much variation between watches?
are there any battery diagnostics available for the apple watch?
thanks
