Apple Watch Series 11's Increased 24-Hour Battery Life Has a Catch

Apple's claim that the Apple Watch Series 11 offers 24 hours of battery life has drawn scrutiny as closer examination of Apple's own testing data reveals that the increase from the Series 10's 18-hour rating is largely attributable to changes in testing methodology rather than a major hardware chang

Why does the Apple watch battery only last a day? (compared to other smartwatches lasting a week?)

If anything the Apple watches seem to have bigger batteries. The series 10 has a 327 mAh battery, and even the series 5 had a 296 mAh battery compared to 270mAh for the Amazfit Active 2 (round). I don't think that biometric tracking makes too much of a dent to battery life. I don't see battery life

Why should I?

The only reason you’d get the Ultra would be for dual GPS for running. I doubt you’re a deep sea diver. Extra day or two of battery life is nice but not worth double the price. Everything else including a larger screen can be found on the regular Apple Watch Series 10.

Apple finagled the numbers, 6hr longer battery life on Series 11 is a scam.

Can't even get the basics right

I just wish we brought back the pebble standard of a smart watch lasting close to a month, not a day and a half. And yes, I’ve ordered a new re-pebble despite my Apple Series 11.

Series 10, overnight stops recording wrist temperature and battery life halves, ‘water damage’?

I guess not a common issue so! got nowhere with apple support, didn’t expect much but wasn’t expecting to be told that watch was fine over and over when it’s running though full battery in about 8 hours and the wrist temperature sensor isn’t working at all. everything else still seems to be working

Weekly Buying/trading/selling advice, pre-orders and shipping Megathread

I currently own an Apple Watch SE and am wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to the SE3. I have other watches so the SE is not my primary watch, but I do wear it fairly often. My main use cases for my Apple Watch are for exercise and sleep tracking, and I use it for my GPS distances with th

What is the general lifespan of an Apple Watch and how well do they wear in/around water?

My Series 7 died without warning after 3 years. I never swam with it. The ECG never worked right from the start, and then it worked properly before the watch died. All of my Fitbits are dead. All of my Garmin still work: Forerunner 101, 305, 910XT, and 935. The only Garmin that ever died is my VivoA
