Results are only viewable after voting.
Series 4 88% bought when the 5's came out so not a launch day 4. (the smaller one, forgot what the mm is)
 
Series 4 bought November 2018, 86%. Wear it day and night, charge it before going to sleep.
 
S6, *100%*, purchased 1mo ago, used ADL.

I have no need to upgrade.

Series 4 44mm SS bought on launch. 77%. My wife’s series 4 40mm bought at the same time is at 74%. Probably pick up watches for both of us this year.
 
Launch Day Series 4 currently 75%. I really wanted to wait for the 8 in hopes they bring back original colors but my watch currently doesn't last a full day.
 
S4, a few months after launch day, 93% with optimized charging. Still getting S7 and keeping my S4 as a backup.
My daughter’s S4, on its launch day as a bday gift for her, is at 98%! But she did not use it as much as I am. I am using it 22.5/7/365 especially for health monitoring and metrics. I charge it completely before bedtime and use it all day and night long.

I cannot wait to upgrade to S7 because I upgrade for all the new features, even though the battery life is still young.

S4 since launch. 89%. Don’t usually wear on weekends unless for cycling or out and about.
Don’t know if I’m gonna buy 7 until right at 8am friday.
 
I'm surprised to see so many low %. My launch-day Series 4 is at 84% and I've worn it every day and charged it every night.

Answer: S5 - cellular - launch day - 84%

Question: I was going to upgrade to S7 but I love my silver and am not excited about champagne/silver. I have three apple watches that I alternate, so how much does this 84% affect me? If the only thing is that it doesn’t hold a charge as long, I can live with that. Will <84% start affecting performance or anything else?
 
Series 4 ~ Bought on day of release for orders - 96%.
I rarely let the battery fall below 50%. It’s a cellular but don’t use that feature. Will last me from midnight to 6pm ish with around 40-50% usage.
