Maybe I just don’t use it a lot in the day but Apple quote 18hrs for the Series 9 but I took mine off charge yesterday morning at 8am, wore it all day, all night and it’s now 6pm and it’s at 38%…that’s 34 hours and still 38% left?!

Having worked at a consumer electronics company it’s pretty wild how much work goes into figuring out these battery life statements. Lots of testing, legal departments reviewing and approving the claims making sure no one gets in trouble for false promises. In general companies will rather underpromise and over deliver rather than doing the opposite.
