Charged it at 7:55pm. Went to sleep with the watch woke up around 80%. It's 2pm and it's at 22%. I haven't used the watch other than wear it to keep time. Its just doing the regular things like heart beat and tracking steps. Haven't used it for work out or any of the other stuff. Battery health is at 99%. Just got this last week. Is this normal use? Thought it was quoted 36 hours battery life under regular use.

My battery health is awesome on my AWU2 and it lasts 2+ days with constant daytime wear and daily 1.5-2 hour workouts.

HOWEVER, I wear short-sleeve polos at work so the watch face isn’t being constantly touched (hence, the display is dimmed and complications aren’t displayed).

Yesterday, I wore a long-sleeve button up shirt like the one you’re wearing in the picture, and my battery was at 30% prior to my afternoon workout.

Today, I wore my usual style short-sleeve polo, and my watch is back to normal battery consumption.

So, I’m not 100% sure it’s the constant touching of the face from the shirt sleeve that killed my battery, but I’d say I’m 95-99% sure that’s what happened.

Wear a different short sleeve shirt all day and see if it magically fixes itself. 🤷🏻
