Mine is still at 100, and it’s been worn for most days.

How is yours?

Also, I have everything active (background app refresh, prominent vibrations, AOD etc.)

I'm jealous. My Series 7 is down to 84% and it's very noticeable. It feels like it's actually less than 84% to be honest. If I use any watch face that doesn't have a black background, the watch won't make it through the day (with AOD). When it was new, it had no problems with that at all. Maybe leaning towards an Ultra series 2 as a replacement.

Goodness, my series 7 has a white back face and I’m at 96% battery life.

Somehow I think I got the runt of the litter. My previous watches all did well. This one for some reason, not so much. Not doing anything differently, optimized charging on, etc.. Just bad luck on the battery lottery, I guess.
 
My SE '22 is at 98%, I've been using it ever since it arrived, new, in January of this year.
 
Purchased my S8 Oct 3, 2022, and it’s at 94%. It stayed at 100% until perhaps June, then started decreasing.

I haven’t noticed any battery life change, but I have to assume that there is some.


I generally don’t let it get to below 30% and then charge to anywhere between 75% to 100% depending on my plans and whether I’m paying attention to it.

Yea my S7 is 83% and dropping. It is the Ti so still in warranty until Nov this year. Hoping it drops below 80% before then! 🤞

Ultra, launch day... 97%. Usually charge it every other night before bed, but sometimes I need a bit more, so I'll throw it on the charger for a half hour here or there.

My S8 is at 100%. Although it’s a replacement from Apple via AC+, so it’s only three months old.
 
Day 1 Ultra at 99%. Never gets taken off except to shower and charge, and the charging part only takes place every 2 1/2 days
 
Ultra. Shortly after launch - within weeks of launch.
99% (literally the first time I have seen anything other than 100% was today, checking for this thread).
I charge a couple of times a week. Run a workout every day. Have always on display active. Play with the watch a lot.

I'm pretty happy nearly a year on.
