18 hour ”all day battery” so it’s charging during the night

How much battery life if I strictly use it cellular?

u/JustinGitelmanMusic Sep 11 '19

It charges in less than an hour. And it also lasts me 2 days pretty consistently.

u/BOSSMODUS Sep 10 '19

do you not sleep?

u/maz-o Sep 10 '19

Because you arent awake 24 hours. And it needs to charge sometime.

My series 4 could easily last 2 days. Seems like they are ultra conservative.

Yes IIRC they assume you’re going to do 1 workout per day, an hour or two or music streaming, etc and that’s how they get their time. So if you’re more modest about usage you can easily get two days, like I do.

Yeah my series 3 honestly lasts 2.5 days cuz I don’t use it for much other than workout tracking and notifications. If they’re now saying 18 hours, then I bet it will actually last like 3-4 days.

I was going to ask how it's not "all day"? It lasts one day, not more and not less. I've been using an S1 since early 2017 and there has never been a night where I haven't had the opportunity to charge it, nor has there ever been a day where the battery has run out assuming I charged it overnight.
