Apple Watch Series 2 Battery Life

[iKev]

I left Thursday morning at 10:00 to go out of town. It came off the charger then. I took a screen shot this afternoon (Sunday) as I was pulling into my driveway. Still 28% left. I'd say that's pretty impressive. (FYI: I turned it off each night around 10:00 and turned it back on in the morning.)

For the amount of exercise (wow - excellent) to still be over 50% is not bad I'd say.

I'm doing a variation of that— The M&M Challenge. I see if I can eat just ONE M&M a minute for 120 minutes while trying to limit the challenge to just 120 minutes.

A failure in either metric means I have to start again.

As you build endurance, you could add 12oz curls.

My sister's only get 2 days on her Apple Watch Series 2, but that only with light usage.

Unfortunately, drilling through battery cycles is still a real thing. It'll be interesting to see the Watches battery life spans and use cases.

To that end, I'll still try to keep the battery from discharging below 50%. It's convenient for me to charge every night. When I can get two days use and be at 50% or above, then I'll charge every other day.

it is strange that only when you drain the battery completely it will count as 1 cycle. On the macbook and iphone the percentage used or charged will add up to 100% and then count as a cycle. So if you charge 2 times from 50% to 100% it will still count as one cycle.
