It was mostly tongue-in-cheek. But I was basing it off 500 charge cycles which is what the iPhone battery is rated for. I just checked and the Apple Watch battery is rated for 1000 cycles so that’s about three years. I’m impressed that your watch battery is still lasting a day, do you use sleep tracking? And do you think your Apple Watch would still last a day if you did 45 minutes of outdoor activity using GPS?
Ah, sorry, didn’t spot the tongue position. No, I don’t wear it in bed. I did a 4 hour cycle with it last weekend though, and though it was grumbling about me needing to charge it before bed - it made it to midnight. So I would say long GPS sessions do tax it, but my regular 40 monute runs don’t bother it much.
