Should've prefaced it with I do have the Series 10 now so 30 min of charging takes me to ~80% now.

I have an Ultra 1 and now a Series 10 (replacing a Series 7). I used to use the Ultra for daytime, including workouts, and the S7 only for sleep tracking. Now I will use the Ultra for sleep tracking and workouts, and the S10 for everything else.
I charge mine in the evening while I'm relaxing before I go to bed, takes less than an hour to top it off. Other than that I wear it 24/7.
I used to wear my S7 during the day and a Garmin for overnight sleep tracking. Now I’m trying a new S10 24/7 (apart from running workouts). Topping it off when I shower seems to be working (for now).
When I first get up and I'm using my computer I charge my watch and when I take a shower it's on the charger.
i take my watch off as soon as i get home. its a fully standalone watch and i dont use the fitness features so i dont have a need to wear it all day. i usually charge every 3rd day or so or when it gets down to about 20%. black awu 2
I will charge while getting ready for bed, 20-40min, which will get me usually to 70-90% charged.
I'll then wear my watch for sleep tracking.
Then I'll charge again in the morning while getting ready, and in that time, it'll be back up to like 95%, 100% once in a while if I get up extra early.
On weekends, 100% in the AM while I have coffee and goof around on the computer.

My Series 5 – for two hours before sleep and then a 45-60 minute top-up in the middle of the day.
Series 10 – 45 minutes in the evening when I am not doing anything crazy like standing up. It’s 9:10pm right now, I charged it to 94% at midnight yesterday, it’s at 43%. I was worried about the 42mm model battery. I have no complaints.

I do that besides charging my Apple Watch when I shower after workout as well. Do you wear an Apple Watch Ultra? You say that you wear it 24/7.
I just switched to an Ultra 2 when the black titanium came out on the 20th, for the last two years it's been an AW8.
Apple Watch Series 8 since launch ? Wow! 🤯 Did you used to have graphite color before? Seems like you waited for the black Apple Watch Ultra to come out.
Same here.
My AW8 is Midnight (Black), it still works fine and I kept it as a backup/second watch. I've been wanting an Ultra for a while and started planning to upgrade when there were rumors of an Ultra 3 this year - but the black in the Ultra 2 pushed me over the edge, I like the look better than the raw Ti and I appreciate the extra battery life. I also really like the Modular Ultra watch face with Night Mode, and that's only available on the Ultras.
Understandable. The black AWU2 may seem like a cosmetic upgrade, but trust me- it will be compatible with watchOS for a long time ahead of us.
