    Great tips... I think it's sad that you'd ever need to worry about battery life on a $500+ watch, though. It should go 2-3 days without compromise.

    Sucks that you literally have to turn off most of the cool features to save battery 🤨
    Apple needs to start putting better batteries in their products 🙄

      To be fair - the Series 6 gets pretty amazing battery life… so these are just ways to stretch that even further.

      You can easily go 2+ years without ever needing to have the battery replaced. It’s also not something you can do yourself, so you’ll want to check with Apple on cost and timing.

    Yes! My old watch holds the battery charge for 18+ hours. My new SE holds for 8?? And tech support is someone from India I can’t understand and has no idea how to fix the problem. If I did not have an iPad, phone and watch that are all synched I would drop apple. They are close to a trillion dollar company and have to cuts costs by eliminating components and outsourcing tech support to India or other countries. This absolute bullshit. I have owned apple products for over 15 years and you would think their service would improve as they make billions!!! Go figure.
