my battery goes down when it’s in standby and i’m not even using it,makes no sense
yesterday i was around 60% this time of day. im currently at 83% so there is a somewhat improvement.
I work from home too and I used to, but this thread (and others) has made me try to see how long I can get out of it lol.
I am beginning to get less obsessed now I feel it is normal to me and charge once a day around 8:05am, just after my 8-9am stand goal
What apps/complications do you keep on? Any 3rd party complications? Heart Analyzer was chewing up my battery when I had it as a complications.
I don’t really have much running heart analyzer is about it and activity and no complications,I had cellular turned off the whole day cause it’s no sense to have it on if my phone is with me and my battery is at 57 percent usage 4 hours and standby is 11 hours 14 minutes.so maybe the cellular was mowing down the battery
I took a shower at 3PM EDT and put my watch on the charger. It charged to 99% and hasn't budged from that ever since. Something is not right with the battery reporting.
Did you change anything to make it get better or do you think it just started to calm down?
I did another factory reset and setup as new 2nd time and its going on 8pm and I'm at 62%. yesterday at this time I was at like 10% lol
yep this time last night I was at 8-9% I’m still at 60% currently didn’t do anything different usage wise just the factory reset and setup as new.
Nice. I’m on day one and it’s been bad. About 5% per hour but I’m hoping it just needs to settle.
That’s 23+ hours of battery life. That’s not that bad with an always-on display.
Haven't seen any major issues in battery on my series 5 44mm cellular so far. I'm jumping from a Series 0 so honestly anything is better battery than I was getting on that, surprisingly Series 0 still did usually get me through a full day though usually, although with very minimal actual use. If I use my series 5 heavily through the day, maps, music controls, weather, calls, texts, siri, etc it'll usually go below 50%. Some of that was kind of "new toy" overuse at times just fiddling with it because of how big of difference it was from my Series 0. I'm about a week into having my Series 5 now though and it and my use seem to be settling in. Through a pretty busy Friday now into Saturday at 3am it's at 54%. I have an easy 10-4 day Saturday so should easily last me through Saturday too.

Maybe I'm wrong on this but unless an iPhone is out of range on bluetooth and you're off of wifi networks on the watch, cellular should never kick in even if it's still on/activated.
had cellular turned off the whole Day

I have to say I am a bit shocked my 4 day old series 5 runs down to 20% battery by the end of each day. My wife’s series 4 doesn’t drop below 40% and my series 2 used to get 2 days of wear.
I hope this is fixed with an update.

Think podcast app was what was hurting my battery
Past 4 days it stayed on 100% for like 3 hours then when it got to 17% died. Deleted podcast app last night and seems to be dropping normal ish rate
It’s on 94% after 1 hour, 20 mins off charger so not great but least it’s running down normally

My original AW5 kept dying with no notice. I’ve just put mine on charge at 12:45 pm after sleeping with it on all night (was 90% at bedtime). It was 30% when I put it on charge following a run of 1hr and 15minsI work from home too and I used to, but this thread (and others) has made me try to see how long I can get out of it lol.
