When it came out I charged it once every 3 days now it's everyday. I'm at the latest software. I charged it to 100 percent and left it be not connected nothing for 24hrs a d gone from 100 to 79. Is there something I'm missing like what's going on?

watchOS 10.1 was pretty rough on my Ultra 2 battery. I joined the watchOS beta and I'm using 10.2 and I'm charging my battery now after it got to 4%. It lasted around 68 hours with the Always On activated.

Simplifying: It was at first around like 110% (blind shot), it's degrading continously as every battery will, but still not reached 99%. Displayed value is capped at 100 on the other hand.

This happens for real, and most likely is the case here.

Maybe I’m tripping, hearing everyone talk about battery drain, but my watch goes through 20-25% in a full 24 period, I always charge it before I go to bed meanwhile I shower, but supposedly 10.1 has a battery drain bug.

So basically you just don't use your watch?
