Apple Watch Ultra 2 Battery Test in Multiple Scenarios (alien.top)
 

Hey everyone,

As requested by some, I tested out the Ultra 2 battery under various different settings to see how the battery life would fare.

Some of these include Always-On , wearing the watch to sleep, and Raise-to-Wake. This was done while wearing with normal day-to-day usage.

Here are some insights from the test:

  • By turning off ‘Always On Display’, ‘Raise to Wake’, and forgoing sleep usage, you can achieve a ~20% longer battery life.
  • Using the watch for sleep, having the ‘Always On Display’ and ‘Raise to Wake’ enabled can reduce battery life by ~33%.
  • Using the watch for sleep tracking reduces battery life by approximately ~8%.
  • Having ‘Always On Display’ and ‘Raise to Wake’ activated together can contribute to a ~28% decrease in battery life.

The next test I'll be wearing the Ultra 1 and 2 at the same time to see battery performance.

Here's the full article if you're curious:

Calorie Counting to Gain Weight in c/apple@hardware.watch
[–] thewearableguy@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just be careful using the AW (or any fitness tracker) to count calories.

Apple Watch overestimates calories by anywhere from 10-25%, with many factors determining that.

You can use MyFitnessPal to track intake, then it’ll take some use of the Apple Watch to find out how much it is off for their body.

One of my buddies AWs is off by 10%. Mine is off my 20%. It depends on so many things.
