Realistically, with your daily usage, how often do you need to charge the battery?

And realistically, what do you use your watch for in a given day?

I have a Series 2 with OS 3.1 and the watch has been on my wrist since 7:00 am, it is now 9:30 pm and I am at 75%. Didn't get a workout in today and I worked from home today so wasn't up and around too much. Still pretty impressive.

That is impressive. If the screen brightness is minimized, GPS off and Hey Siri is off, it's even better. Watch OS 3.1 has improved it greatly.

i started yesterday morning. at 11pm i had ~60%
over night i activated flight mode.
this morning it was about 58-57%
not it is 9am and i have about 49% so it will last till evening.

So two days is not a big problem.

Some days ago i also had a half hour run (with gps and heart rate). Around 7-8pm i had 10% on the second day.

I am very satisfied. (watchOS 3.1)
