Tried searching for a thread for battery life (opinions and results) with OS 5. Please post what watch you have, size, GPS or cellular and the age of the device.
Mine:
Apple Watch Series 3 42mm GPS... I’m impressed. I use my watch the same way, day to day. I walk 8+ miles daily and use it for text and call alerts. Alarms and sometimes for a timer. Heart rate tracking is another one. But biggest use is exercise. I rarely use the workout app.
Been unplugged since last night, shortly after midnight. I’m on a walk now. At 3 miles, consistently walking (faster pace). 1 hour and 33 minutes of “usage” time.
Current percentage is at 91%. My S2 38mm would be in the mid 80s right now, on the same OS build.
This is my first full day of using it so I’m curious to see how long a charge will last but I try my best to not let it go below 20%.
Edit: 4.5 miles, almost an hour later, dropped 1%. Heart rate is checked more often than not.
