Apple Watch Battery
- akilism 12y agoAll-Day Battery Life Up to 18 hours nice they get to redefine what a day is.
- wodenokoto 12y agoWell, day+night is 24hours, so I'm not really sure if you think they defined it as longer or shorter.
- jmvalente 12y agoYeah, the other 8 hours are when you're sleeping and the battery usage is relatively minuscule, given that it supposedly can last 72 hours in power reserve mode. Eight hours of not checking time or anything probably doesn't have a more than a percent or two difference. It's safer to say 18 hours as all day rather than claim 24 hours and have people claim false advertisement when they try to push its for an extra 8 hours. I use my G watch R pretty frequently throughout the day (still at 84% after about 10 hours) and on days where I forget to plug the charging dock in at night, my battery isn't much lower once I wake up. I don't imagine it's much different with the Apple watch.
- FLGMwt 12y agoFor those who didn't hear it, there was applause when the 18 hour battery life was "announced" ; D But I guess that's mostly relief because there were some rumors that it could be as bad as 2.5 hours (which is in line with the linked page's report of 3 hours on a call).
- up_and_up 12y agoCharging this thing every day will be it's achilles heel. I don't have to charge my phone everyday.
- huxley 12y agoIt's not like it drops dead if you use it for 1 minute after 18 hours, once the battery level hits the Power Reserve point, you can use it as a watch for up to 72 hours.
