Hello! I’m buying used Apple Watch series 7 and the seller told me that the battery health is at 88% (he bought the watch in 2022). Should I buy it or is the battery health too low?

That’s really low. My series 4 still had 88% after 4 years but suddenly dropped to 76% after 5 years. Something to do with battery aging that I don’t understand.

The previous owner of your S7 must’ve been someone who workout really a LOT!

Had the same problem. Sold it and bought an ultra.

That seems way too low, but depending on the price it would be worth it, you could change the battery when it reaches 80% and still use it for years.

I got my SE in September 2020, I charge it every day and currently it's at 85%.

Mine has been at 86% for a year

My SE is at 92% after two years.

That’s crazy. My 6 which I use daily and for long workouts has higher than that

probably fine, my series 7 has 84% health, but it keeps the charge as long as when it was new jan 2002, when I wake up charge is 25-30%, I charge for ca 25 minutes up to about 80%, repeat.

I still use my series 4, it’s at 77% and works fine. Basically had it on my wrist 23 hours per day for five years straight. Only needs a charge once a day.
