WatchOS 9.whatever the latest. I downgraded from a S6 about 4 months ago because the S6 was having issues and all my local store could offer was a SE2 and $75 so i took it.

I'm on WatchOS 10.1 and my SE2 goes all day and usually has 50% charge after 17 or so hours. Might be time to wipe it and start fresh.

Imagine being too stubborn to install updates that will fix battery life but still too bitchy you need to complain about a fixable problem…

SE2 here - I went out of town this past weekend and didn’t take a watch charger with me. I wore it in my usual pattern (7am to 10pm) and had maps going while I was driving. I purposely charged it to 100% the night before I left (usually have optimized charging on).

The battery was at 57% when I took it off and 50% when I put it back on the next morning. When I took it off the next night after I got home, it was at 29%.

The optimized charging decided to charge to 100% overnight at home. I’m sure it will return to a 75-80% charge tonight.

watchOS 9 is not the latest version of the OS...

You are not on the last eat firmware and are complaining about battery life. At least update before you bitch about shit. I assure you as a se 2 owner the leastest version is quite stable. If you just wanna bitch without trying the most basic things then go ahead

Mine is on the latest os, lasts 48 hours (that's without heart rate monitoring on)

9.6.3 here, battery lasts 2 days

If it’s gradual like that and has persisted across different OS updates it might be a hardware issue. Schedule a genius appointment if you can and update it to the latest version first so you can at least say you tried that first. I had a similar battery drain issue with my m2 air a couple months ago and they found a hardware problem
