I’m curious to hear if any of you rock the Apple Watch on LTE only? Are you able to make it last all day? ⌚️🔋
I am able to last all day. I dont do any type of hard core texting or calling. I just use it when I get messages which is rarely. I try to isolate myself from social media. Turn off every single notification besides messaging and calling. Heart beat sender.. I turn it off for it won’t drain my battery. I honestly can use my watch throughout the day without the need of a phone. Cause all I do on it is use social media on the phone. I also turned off the rise to wake function and I only turn it on when I press on the crown button
@@OscarDiazJr98 I wanna do what you do and disconnect but can you explain to me a little more on things like banking app is it useable because I send a lot ofoney to diferente family members and like amazon or ebay important things that you think aren't on the apple watch
@@ynn8D
@yes you got a great point.
@ I use Apple Pay throughout my day when I go to the store. I woke up for work and left the house with 100% at 7am and currently at 55% battery life. 6pm Rn.
@ I guess having a phone is necessary cause I do have to pay my monthly bill payments from discovery, Amazon, phone bill.
@ I am only able to check my balance on watch.
As far sending money to my family, Luckily they have Apple Pay where I can send them money through the Apple Watch.
little by little I’m adapting the Apple Watch LTE, it’s a big step just cause everyone is stuck on their phones constantly. I use my phone like Rn just to check this comment and see if I have to pay any payments.
@@OscarDiazJr98 alright thank you for letting me know I'm looking forward to doing that but I can't find a smartwatch that has what I'm looking for
If i don’t make any long phone calls. Then yes my watch SE lasts all day

@Duke GTA GTA is NOT a work day! Lol. Joke. Fair play to you.
The fact that he wears the watch with the crown on the left on his left arm really triggers me
oh wtf!! who wears a watch like this????
@@smanos03 people that work out
Yeah
Yeah same
Lmaoo
Man I thought it was just me.
Keep the brightness in the middle bro! Just imagine using your phone on full brightness
i keep my phone on full brightness and use it 24/7 the battery lasts all day still!
My phone is usually on 15% brightness
@@lisetteperna2332 compared to apple watch it’s different! You can see everything even on the first bar of the brightness line and a watch is showing up notifications and shit! So yk
@@lisetteperna2332 that’s cap
@@bulletproofchunkdion how is it cap? I wouldn’t imagine someone using low brightness on OLED screens, the PWM would obliterate your eyes
im struggling to figure out how your watch only charged to 34% in 1 hour, you must have a very low wattage charger for it. also it would be interesting to see this done with the new apple watch series 7, and charge it with the new included fast charger, considering mine charges almost completely in 30 mins from damn near zero %
Is the fast charger the cable? I thought it would be the power adapter but there was none included for the Series 7.
yeah that was something I was noticing too . that just didn't make sence
It’s not available in all countries
Yes you need the new puck not just a brick
My wife has the apple for two years now. She can look at our ring camera through it. So. Confusing… he probably has the first cellular version 🤷🏾♂️ idk
Happy you went to church - God is GOOOD.....
All the time!
I can do a 12 hour working shift on a single charge without my phone. Always on display is huge waste of power. Do it again with that turned off.
Yeah it doesn’t seem to be there yet.
Exactly what I was thinking. Someday in the not too distant future batteries for these watches will be powerful enough to do it all with the display always on, but right now all that feature does is drain the battery.
Whats the point of that feature?!?!?
Thats not a excuse other watches last up to a week with always on display
For a watch always is kinda needed
I noticed your brightness was all the way up which explains the battery drain along with always on display come on man !
It looks like he’s trying to show u the downfall of having your watch all the way up and using it at full capacity without your phone but all of them are like that if u use them that way duhhh
yup and the screen wan always on most of the time until the battery started to reach low levels .. i mean come on, why would you have to keep your screen on all the time ? kind of non sense
I have my watch on the lowest brightness setting and even that is too bright sometimes
Not to mention you have to put the notifications to the minimum important ones.
That alarm... TRIGGER WARNING!
And this guy is PRODUCTIVE ASF on a Sunday!
Gosh that alarm is SO annoying 😅 lmao
Fr, It’s actually counter intuitive because I always subconsciously put my hand on the watch trying to mute the sound , And causing me to oversleep lol
@@TheTechMillennial cellular takes a lot of battery btw
If you keep walking for 5 hours apple watch gonna be turned off because of battery is flat
Apple Watch only is the future - just need faster processing & better battery life. It already has all the features
whem i saw that digital crown is on the lest side, i got terrified tbh, because everyone around me has that on the right side
samee it looks yukh on the left side
I put mine on the left cause it kept clicking the wheel whenever I was at the gym doing push-ups or core workouts - and it works :)
i do that too, i liked it better that way and when i workout its perfect
I heard about having it in the left side about a year ago and I immediately switched. It’s so much better not to have the crown getting clicked by your jacket and stuff
@@iam_vlo when I saw his watch worn this way, my first thought was to try this in the gym because doing certain exercises that dial gets bumped.
My watch doesn’t give me any battery problems, and I have it for 8 hours out of the day. Without the phone, at work.
Which one? It might be cause this guy hasn’t really used it a lot cause I used a friends barely used watch and it died pretty quick so I’d say he hasn’t worn it out yk?
@@JesusHernandez-km5kq I have the SE, I can go 8 hours through out schools, answering text messages and still have 70% left at the end of the day.
@@notnola8795 same here. And i use it for workouts etc. I charge every other day or so
@@notnola8795 he is scaming... this video is big scam... my ap last more than 8 hours and its fully charged in aprox 50 minutes
@@barbar2316 scam? lol. SE might last longer because it doesn't have Always on display. Battery is the weakest part of Apple watch
Yeah the battery tends to go pretty fast when the watch has been touched a lot 🤣. With normal use and low brightness I get almost one and a half day of usage with my series 4.
Agreed
yah, me too .. !!
As an owner of a Apple Watch 6SE, I can tell you that there is a long way to go. I think Apple focuses too much on workout routines and heart rates and should focus more on every day usage of text messages, Apple Pay, phone calls and music. It’s gonna be a while before I consider upgrading to a new iWatch
yeah, I don't need to track any fitness activities
I'd rather have more battery or a cheaper price
Completely understand you point but when your watch gives you the first warning your heart is in afib, the rest is insignificant. I know from first hand experience.
Apple pay and music are fine. however text and calls are more of a problem with telecommunication companies than apple themselves
Which version of the apple watch do you have? and what is the battery health? I think those two things really affects performance. The new fast charger for sure is a positive new addition for cases when you have some time to spare a quick charge through the day but I agree its not ready to be a solo device just yet.
it's the lte that cuts the battery so much, when i have my iphone connected to my apple watch, it can last me 2 or 3 days
I agree, without LTE only you’ll be fine
@@TheTechMillennial in my country we don't even have LTE sooo yeahh xD
@@xdbunnies7508 what- how do u survive without lte and have a phone
@@mxrcy_knight6412 Probably means that they don't have apple watch celluar lte
I’m positive he’s taking abt his phone
These on screen graphics are honestly wonderfully done. Also, the battery on the Apple Watch is abismal in comparison to my Galaxy watch which lasts around 4 days with the always-on-display on.
Thank you, made them myself! And is that with LTE only? The biggest battery drain was always being connected to cellular.
@@TheTechMillennial Good point, it has been a while since I have used LTE only, usually I have Bluetooth connected instead, which could have a huge impact on battery performance.
I used to have a galaxy watch and the battery lasted around 2 days with battery saver on. I got an Apple Watch SE for Christmas and constantly use it. I put it on at like 6am and it’s currently 5:30pm and it’s at 82%
@@Ilove_drpepper I'm calling BS as the Apple Watch SE is only rated to last 18 hours and my friends with them barely get through the full day (We do stay up until 3 most days though), I've been using my original Galaxy Watch for almost 2 years now and it still lasts me 3-4 days with the always on display always on. I can believe your galaxy watch having bad battery life as it could have been a faulty unit, but there is no way that your SE lasts more than one day.
@@CybernerdShua Please can you help me with the Model of your Samsung watch?
I'm so confused. I use my apple watch series 6 with always on display every day for almost a year now. The ONLY time I charge my watch is when I'm showering (so once a day) and I use my watch for everything. I pay with it, I do workouts and track them, I call people, I change my music on Spotify, answer messages and I sleep with it. So even with the watch tracking my sleep and being on the entire day I only charge it once while showering for almost a whole year and it never ran out of juice so far. Not even once.
I think your watch is broken lol
im getting a watch SE soon so not really sure if the battery is good or bad I googled it it said 18 hours or maybe more. lol
@@5alfanoofficial same!!!! I don’t need my watch for a whole day, I’ll probably only use it for texts or time
@@mmiiaalol well why not just keep your phone then. Not saying don’t buy the watch but if all you plan on doing with it, is text and tell the time. Well the thing you probably carry everywhere with you in your pocket is capable of doing those things and more. I would save your money tbh, but you don’t have too obviously lol
@@ImDimiko why do people wear watches when they have phones, like that’s literally the question you’re asking. For what do you need an AW? Tracking footsteps? Calories? Why? you have a working phone that can do it as well
Do you have cellular or gps
Who sends 82 messages a day? Geez. I’ll send maybe 1 or 2 a day tops with 1 to 3 phone calls. I’ll use Apple Pay 2 times a week tops at the gas station. I guess that’s what I get for having no friends at 24 and the only one who ever messages or calls me is my mom.
Apple couldn't sell you another phone so they sold you a mini smartphone that does very little...
Maybe you should turn down the screen-brightness. For me the lowest setting just works fine, even in daylight with sun etc. This will boost your battery life :)
Phone battery died having a sleeping backup watch I can understand if peaple used the phone as a streaming device and the watch for phone calls
No doubt half of the crap I want use on rhe watch time and texts and calls and emergency back up device that can be turned on when phone dies is a life saver
Explains why I'm on 60 at 11:26 am
That’s crazy, the battery in my series 3 that I’ve had for over 2 years lasts me about a day and a half
Connected to an iPhone it definitely will
My Gshock is lasting up to 10 years in the standard battery ;)
I use my Apple Watch but only if my phone isn’t near by. I use it if I forget my phone in the car or have to run a quick errand but I use it often to make quick purchases with Apple Pay (ie) gas stations and stores, very convenient. At work if my phone isn’t near by send and receive text messages. I love my watch!
I think it’s definitely better as an accessory not so much a standalone device yet!
@@TheTechMillennial that's why it's the apple watch and not the apple phone lol. Watch first, smart features second. It's a watch with cool features, not a phone you can take anywhere
If you are a guy who doesn't go outside a lot, then the apple watch is a total waste of money. Even if you are an extroverted guy, this thing is not worth it at all.
What is wrong with his crown it is on the left??
It’s a setting change which you can do to
The problem is you are attempting to replace your phone entirely by the watch and has everything going on it, including full brightness.
That was the point of this test though :)
@@TheTechMillennial. So that should be expected
@@TheTechMillennial that doesn’t make sense. Do you keep your cell display on the whole time? Do the test again without having the screen on the whole time.
@@markbooysen9412 But that's the point of an Always On Display
Do you keep your phone on at full brightness all day? I don’t. Doesn’t make sense. I make it bright if I’m in the sun, and I turn it down if I’m indoors. This should be called “let’s see how long the Apple Watch lasts if I do everything I can to waste battery life.” I’d like him to publish his other settings too.
Protip.
Arrange the setting according to your day, if you know you don’t need all of the notifications then only allow the ones you’ll depend on.
Right
Pro tip they make better as paper weights.
always on display has to be off and also leave it open for 15 seconds instead of 70 after opening it.These 2 tips are enough to easily last for a day along with power reserve mode and lower brightness.You are abusing the watch by having everything on max and pressuring it to perform at its best.The watch DOES need a larger battery(1.5x current battery would be ideal) but its not as tragic as you mentioned ,plus you can juice it up fast asf with a big charger
The apple watch has almost all functions found on a smartphone. This is its biggest flaw. It's so enticing to use those same functionalities that will render the device useless by midday. I'm better off with a Huawei that lasts for 14 days on one charge or a Garmin with an 8-day battery life with smartwatch functionality (only) than this one-legged beast.
Well done, and interesting results, though I don't think anyone expected a different outcome. A LTE Apple Watch has it use cases but not meant to replace a iPhone for sure. Just like earlier iPhone's and in some cases phones in general, charging throughout the day was a normal thing. They didn't call iPhone users "wall huggers" for no reason! So in years to come, I could see a watch being better in lasting all day. And for some people that day may not come soon enough. However the Apple Watch is fantastic as a additional tool used with the iPhone, And makes tasks easier, without needing to get out your phone and look at it.
I agree with you 100 percent. I'm mean maybe leaving your iphone in a locker when at the gym or running a quick errand like a store run while phone is in the car I can then see that being useful but for an all day thing not so much. I have the series 5 with LTE and my carrier is AT&T but I still carry my phone and wallet with me all the time. I think having an LTE apple watch is cool and all but like you said it's a great additional tool to have so having the wifi model would be best for most people.
82 messages... do you work as a message reader or something? ;)
That’s a little weird lol I use my watch all day and have no problem
Connected to your iPhone with BT I’m assuming
@@TheTechMillennial no it’s cellular
@@robertojr4396 which generation is ur Apple watch
@@Snowbeauty I have Apple Watch 5 44mm cellular and gps
@@robertojr4396 I think what the Tech Millennial means is your cellular watch is more than likely connected to your phone with bluetooth most of the time and using your phone’s signal so the battery doesn’t die quickly. Do you use your watch like that, or is your watch always using its own cellular data and not your phone’s. If so the battery would die much quicker in that case. I hope that question makes sense :)
I think you didn't tell us what Apple Watch you were using. Series 6? ^^
siri always listening EATS your battery turn that off
Main thing using the battery in this example was definitely the LTE which was on the entire time (no iPhone nearby) 🪫
@@TheTechMillennial for sure
Tittle: I use Apple Watch ONLY for an entire day
Him: wears it upside down
you did not specify which series was it and how old is it ?
I’ve been using the S6 for about a month now and I get about a day’s worth of battery out of it and I listen to music on it all the time and the charging is much much faster.
LTE only?
same i get about 30 hours or so on a single charge
I have a series 6 but I bumped into a wall and shattered it so it keeps calling 911... so I turned it off and until I can get it fixed, I transferred the cellular plan back to my old series 4. I get about a day and a half of battery life, but I dont really text anyone that often.
Fun fact: save time having to get the water out from your watches speakers by removing your watch before you shower! :D Just messing with you, cool vid. Thanks :)
I've gotten like a day and a half out of my Apple Watch SE before without the always on display, the always on display has to be what kills the battery and honestly feels like a pretty pointless feature anyway considering how it takes like a second to press the Digital Crown or raise your wrist to turn the display on anyway, not to mention there's haptics for notifications so you won't miss those either
the wrist raising is the biggest battery killer
@@papervws Thank you I’m see that out as mine dies really fast
@@papervws :D
Maybe the batery is the problem, but I am literally AMAZED by how many features a small watch has! Wow, it is still worth too buy it.
which apple watch are you using? which software update? i think thats important info and i am not sure if i missed it
I think most probably series 6
I like this video, but in my opinion, the Apple Watch was never intended to replace the cell phone, but to expand it. The watch is not intended to be used as the main media device for the entire day
There is definitely an issue with how much battery the watch consumes when cellular mode is on, to the point where it even defeats its purpose.
@Anung Un Rama series 7 had a BIG upgrade in battary so that's why it lasts more
Its a backup device yet my phone battery is nearly dead half way through the day so the joke is on you what streaming youtube watching netflix surfing the net dont judge me you do it aswel as everyone else does the apple watch could be the device that you turn on after your phone is dead well 20 hour battery is not long enough and that depend on what your doing 20 hours not doing anything but calls and texts yes but add the rest you only get 10 hours of battery so having a 18 hour purely cellular for calls and texts is a good idea I get worried if my phone dies and have no back up
@@GamingZone1234 this is a lie because the screen is bigger so it cancels itself out lol. Run time is identical
@@theasthmatictraveller5050 its 1mm larger that's not gonna make it die faster plus it has more efficient chip
This issue is prominent in the iPhone as well. It's the worst smartwatch in terms of battery drain when connected to the cellular network. This is what keeps me away from all Apple products.
You’ll save even more battery combining always on screen off with dropping brightness down one level. With moderate amounts of watch texting/ calls on my series 7 my battery has about 60% ish battery left at 6:30-7pm
at 2 minutes (2:00) the apple watch button upsife down it makes me uncomfortable
I use that orientation aswell
Sadly devs don’t do a lot to support Apple Watches. There’s a lot that could be improved
I completely agree. I think the developers feel like it’s not worth the time & resources to develop for the Apple Watch.
I know results are not so good yet, but it’s amazing to see how something the size of a watch may go through an entire day in LTE and all smart functions in the near future.
how near? did i make a mistake buying the iphone 14?
The battery life gradually increases over time
In the first week my series 5 was exhausting at around my bed time
But after a month now it is always around 30-40% (with the workout everyday )
At the end of the day ..
How does that work
Or maybe, you just don't use it more often anymore, coz we seem to get bored of things
@@infogeezer55 yeah u can say that but in my case no i workout everyday and take calls on it
Quick tip - switch off always on display with that off i get around 70-80% left in the night after moderate usage
hahaahahahaha
I know this video is old, but I use my Apple Watch (Newest Edition) as my main device as I leave my iPhone 13Max at home daily. Currently, 5 hours in today and I'm at 95%. Turn off Always on, Turn Off Unnecessary Background App Refresh and Unnecessary Notifications and you should get around 10 hours of use without it dying. FYI: I use T-Mobile for Cell service.
Woah, really? That’s a pretty drastic difference in battery life. Also, the Ultra would help!
I got a Apple Watch se for Christmas recently. Not with carrier though. So it may be different. But as the regular se obviously you can use the watch close with your phone. It helps a lot in a way. Whenever I use the watch. I look at the emails I get sent. Sometimes I look at the weather which helps a lot to me. Also I send messages and use walkie-talkie instead of calling tbh but I tend to take calls on the watch. Specially when driving. It really helps on the small things. Specially if you try to make it a habit. I do have the wake when raised wrist thing but sometimes I move my arm and i notice the watch turns on every now and then. Not as much. But it does work when trying to check the time. I did do a few changes. Like when you get a notification. The notification for example. Like a message. It tells me by who and what app, but it doesn’t show me the message, mostly for privacy but it does show you the whole notification once you tap it. Which I like. I also set up reminders and alarms on them. I tend to use a little bit of each a good amount during the day and I also wear the watch to sleep for some random reason. The watch ends up lasting me for two days a good amount of the time
The return of the king! Fantastic video. Ever since Joanna Stern did this with the series 3 a few years back I thought the newer models would be better equipped for flying solo😔
Haha thanks! 🙏🏽 I would say definitely BETTER equipped than before, but still lots of room for innovation.
And the mystery is... how long were those calls? How often was the watch on display?
The main problem with the watch is the battery. And cellular must get better signal.
The cellular apple watch is good only if you go for a jog or work out or hike or you are in an amusement park where you don’t want to be carrying a phone for a few hours.
Tip for ring which I use a lot more than actually pressing into the app: turn on snapshot I think it’s called. If takes a photo of the motion and shares to the watch, to watch the full motion on your phone. Hope this helps!
Sorry but i can't listen to a person who wears the crown at left side.
I don’t know about others but, I am Yoga teacher in India currently using Apple Watch Series 6 Cellular and, I usually starts my day around 6 Am in the morning. I take few regular calls, use always on display,receive notifications of close to 15 apps, reply to texts, take 4 Yoga classes, do 1 dedicated workout and few of the times continue scrolling watch for fun and still around 10 Pm in the evening, My Apple watch is always left with 10-15% battery.
My first edition apple watch goes an entire day, leaving me about 11 percent by the end. About 10-14 hours of use.
Why would you even run with always display on
underrated channel
Thanks!! ✊🏽
My old Gear S2 watch lasts typically 1 to 2 days. Basic texts, watch face, and exercise information. I've got a macbook, ipad, iphone, just not ready to get an Apple Watch.
Did anyone noticed he was using apple watch upside-down 😂
All this time and I had no idea you live in Houston. I live in Spring Branch right behind Spring Woods High School!
Yes sir! I actually grew up in Spring Branch!! 👍🏽
I wake up at 7am every day and use my watch 5 generation and I still have battery 🔋 around 10pm and still a ,little more juice. People can replace an iPhone for a watch. And I’m a heavy user
LTE only?
I had the same problem with battery life with my watch but seemed to get better as I used it more, I don’t know if it tries to learn your daily routine or what but I did notice a significant amount of more battery on it after a week which I thought was weird but it was nice that it was lasting longer!
It's $400 S watch you'r expecting to do you'r dishes too?!
@@FOLD00 a 400$ watch that should be doing dishes with a battery life of 3-4 hours
how do you have 93% just by the time you leave? my watch stays at 100 for at least 1 hr lol, damn the batteries have come a long way. my series 9 will charge at 6pm the day before wear it all night and still at 70% by lunchtime. holy shit.....the charging too lol jeez
Love seeing the Digital Crown on a left wrist on the left side. I’ve had mine like that after a day of owning my series 5. I kept initiating Siri!

This guy is making moves throughout the day
I think maybe something is wrong with your watch battery , mine lasts 28 hours with workouts , games, calls and music included , do a battery test just to see x
It could be his battery health, ive had my Apple Watch SE 44mm wifi(not cellular) for 8 months now and i get roughly the same amount as you do
agreed sir , Apple should be re-new battery for this problem. i got this problem too. but my old s3 never had this problem.
It is nice to see you replying to all comments, so let me give you some advice. Regarding the battery, there are some settings that can be turned off without ruining the real experience. I’ll list all these things below, but please, just try it one another day and give me a feedback (you can absolutely carry your iPhone turned off to turn it on for emergency or at least Bluetooth and wifi are completely off so the watch is independent).
-Turn off background refresh for the unneeded apps, like calculator.
-Turn off hand-washing, noise detection, and hey Siri (They make the microphone always on).
-And ofc AOD turning off will prolong it.
For demonstration:
-Clearly AOD off is ok.
-background refresh off for apps like calculator won’t make a practical difference.
-Noise detection, let’s be honest, nice to have but hmmm ok without it.
-Hey siri, could use rise to talk (less effective but more efficient).
-Hand washing, your video is very clean, so you are expected to be so:)
And oh yeah.. S6 chip is a little more efficient, so you can absolutely get a little bit of juice with it, maybe 2h more on cellular.
I would think you need a new charger, if I charge mine for an hour+...it is good for all day...then again I have the WiFi version.
On WiFi only it will last all day for sure
Paper plate bowl for the cat 🤣
1:13 dude how did you do that camera transition trick? That's so cool
Holy shit 180BPM. take care of yourself man
Mine went up to 215bpm smoking weed one time 😳😂 Let’s just say that scared me out of ever doing it again
I have to agree with your conclusion. A few features on the Series 7 such as answering the phone for brief interactions and using Apple Pay are more convenient on the watch than the phone. However, other features, like responding to messages on the watch are more of a burden than pleasure. You’re right, the two devices need to be used in tandem to make the watch truly useable. Sad to report that on a brand new device I have to pare down the watch face to mostly black numeral display, turn off Nightstand Mode and Background App refresh to make it through the day. Hopefully Apple will add a camera, more music options and a bigger battery in future iterations?
How does yours not last all day on normal uses??? I mean if your using the cellular 24/7 you get about 5-8 hrs of battery but why would you buy a 1000$+ iphone if you dont atleaat have it with you half the day. Ya going to the store for 5 mins no need for phone. Going to a friends house to drink and hang out bring your phone and watch. Using the cellular burns battery 5x faster
@@johnymcmuffins7898 My concern over battery drain on the Series 7 was corrected with an Apple update? Being tied to a proprietary charger every 24 hours and the awkwardness of messages remain a concern
I’m with a decent condition Apple Watch 3rd gen and if I turn off airplane mode and the iPhone isn’t on as with as take off all the apps in it I get massive battery
One thing that always surprised me about the US, is how Apple Pay (and tap to pay in general on cards) isn't ubiquitous. I had to pull out my physical card and insert/swipe it more times in a several week trip than I had ever done so in the 5+ years prior at home.
Ikr! I've been paying with nothing but my phone in the last 5 years
لعصر ٥ ١٠ يوم لاثنين
Everywhere I go takes Apple Pay? Honestly don’t think I have been to a restaurant, gas station, store or anything that doesn’t take Apple Pay. It may depend on the area you were in. Some rural areas I can see not having so many options for Apple Pay, but in city’s I’ve NEVER had a problem finding a place that accepted Apple Pay. This kinda thing always advancing and becoming more prominent every day. Soon Apple Pay will be accepted literally everywhere on earth, hopefully at least.😊
Hey, what about a same video but with Apple watch ultra, curious to see if it can replace my phone. I know there are such videos on youtube but yours is the best I have seen so far.
Hey Rishan! Top secret but... I may or may not be working on that video at this very moment... 👀 Stay tuned!
This is a big lesson esp for Gen Z who believe Apple Watch is a God send. The joke is he had to charge 2x /day & still couldn't make it last for even 12 hrs ! & He didn't even use the watch as a normal user would !
The Apple Watch ultra has great battery life
Just an apple watch for the day, and that’s a cool topic and all. But how did you record all this? Especially while working out? 🤭😜
With a camera probably
What a dumb question lmao and 12 people liked it
the fact that you can even consider using only a watch all day is exactly what I got it for. dont want/need to be using my phone texting or calling all day. you shouldn't ever leave your house without your wallet anyway. if you aren't a big phone guy (dont have twitter/Facebook/snapchat etc) the watch is just fine and will last a lot longer too.
This dude has the brightness on fucking super nova mode and has the always on display on and is wondering what's draining the battery ☠☠☠
I noticed your display was on 100% brightness…when 60-70% would do..still though, that’s pretty horrible performance…especially for that money.
If your not in an area that has good cell signal..your watch or phone will constantly be working to gain better signal..which chews the battery….I know with my phone, if I am inside the office at work..it’s in an area that sucks for service 1-2 bars and within 4 hrs I will have close to 50% drain..but if I am outside or other area’s of my workplace…battery will hardly move..maybe 10-12%
For sure. Lower brightness, AOD off and wifi would definitely help the battery.
These kinds of videos make me realize just how severely less tech dependent I am than other people
i know right! imagine it being an issue that your mobile phone watch can't let you look through your camera doorbell! lol
@@omp365 well that’s called fear, the society we live in isn’t exactly “safe”, so of course he’d to see who is at his door :P
Huge downside is battery life and the fact that Apple refuses to catch on new tech fast.
Samsung has been doing reverse wireless charging almost 2yrs8months now.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models are capable of reverse wireless charging. Apple just hasn’t enabled this feature for accessories other than the MagSafe battery pack.
9.30am alarm pissed me off. Not watching this video anymore....
see i use the Series 7 for my contracting business. I am so tired of having my phone on me and hearing it ring. I go all day, use navigation, calls and txt as well as music and by the end of the day i do need to charge it. So i would say battery life is 10 hours. Pretty much what i needed. I love it.
Your videos are amazing, PLEASE post more I love them!
Already working on the next one! Thanks for the support 🙏🏽
You're the same guy that gave up the iPhone 2019. Looks like you're back!!
I do a little bit of both!! 👍🏽
I have a 38mm series 3 cellular and I love it, but the battery life on cellular isn't great - that being said I do listen to music (sometimes streamed on 3G/4G) and occasionally call on it. I don't use it on cellular loads, but it's just handy to have that option when I want to get away from my phone. I can still get the notifications and reminders I need, but I don't have the distraction of my phone. I'm hoping to upgrade to a series 6 soon! 🥰
Also: I recommend not messing around too much on the watch. I feel like it's kinda designed "not to be used" if you know what I mean. It's perfect for still getting the notifications you need and being able to make a call, but not being glued to a device all day. Sitting in a waiting room and going on the watch App Store to find something to do kinda defeats the point of itself lol.
Lol true. I got the cellular version only for this reason. Need to get away from phone and social media. Music workout calls and messages is all i NEED.
Waste of money. How long does it take to get your phone out?
All you need is a moby (cell) phone and a digitial / analogue watch that tells the time and gives the date.
Unless technology represents a huge improvement to your day: saves you a lot of money and creates less hassle, it is really not worth it.
Nice info. I have been using Apple Watch series 6 for more than one year but was not aware of some of the features you showed in video. Which charger you use for the Apple Watch?
waking up 09:30 in the morning, that's a luxury i cannot afford
Thank you for a quality video. Two comments: If you had your iPhone near you for some of the day (eg when driving), the watch switches automatically to the cellular of the iPhone and your battery life would have been significantly longer…even if you did use watch alone at gym, walking the dog, etc. And second, the heart rate sensor takes a huge amount of battery in all iPhones and, other than working out, healthy people don’t need constant heart rate monitoring. It’s easy to turn off in settings. 💟
Definitely agree! I didn’t need cellular on the entire time, but the purpose of this experiment was to try it out like that. For normal usage I would have my iPhone on me the majority of the day.

I have the apple watch series 3 and it last 2 days with everything you're doing.
Same.
Mine last 1 day and a half.
That's crazy, this is a device that makes you thinking always on his remaining battery .. useless.
Fun fact : my dad got his iPhone stolen, he locked it with his Apple watch and bought a new phone only 3 weeks later. He used only his watch for 3 weeks straight.
Galaxy watches are definitely really slept on, they aren't as well refined as the apple watch but they're still pretty good.
You are 100% right. Not as refined, but packed with more features!
Very cool. I’ve thought about doing this so many times but battery life is what holds me back. I guess a quick lunch-time charge would work, too, but I don’t have that luxury very often. Your video convinced me that maybe I should give it another shot.
Battery life is definitely a down fall but if you have a few minutes here and there during breaks to charge the Watch then it gives you enough juice to go the whole day 👍🏽
@@TheTechMillennial the hardest part for me is that I start work at 5am and listen to music the whole time. I wouldn’t have a chance to charge up until noon and I doubt the battery could make it that long. Still, the temptation calls to me, not having your phone but still able to text, call and listen to music. It feels very liberating in a strange way. Kind of like the mid-2000’s when I was rocking an LG Chocolate, ha. I find myself a kit more connected to my surroundings when I’m not always distracted by the internet.
@@TheTechMillennial you should have a charger in the car you will be able to get messages and phone calls while it is charging
I've had my apple watch for 3 months now (SE) with data, and I've had a rough time with the battery.
At first, the battery was terrible, it only lasted 5 hours. I brought it to apple and I swear it took 2 months for me to get another watch, that's another story.
Anyway, the new watches battery sucked at first, but as I use it more it has better battery. Hope this helps!
