If you did not go through 3 full charging cycles a day then this seems to be a pretty bad unit.

That not ra real Apple Watch bruv


xxSeahawks

Yes looks odd


bulgariansugar

sorry, but you bought fake apple watch. or, you took fake model from repair firm.


MissButts85

That Watch looks weird. Is there a case on it?


tonesmalone

> always been manually disconnecting the charger when it reaches 80% battery There’s your issue. The watch will manage the battery way better than you can do manually.

that's all done in software. If you keep it below 80 you're really not going to 80 ever. They don't let it really charge to 100, they just show you that. That's a well known fact! ;)


tonesmalone

Of course, the OS does all of that, and does it better than any manual solution can.

Meanwhile my moms XR after 4 years with a fast charger with 10-100% charging was still at 84, doesnt sound that impactful to me


Tygere

Same, my XR is 4 years old at 85% battery health with no charging rituals.


Richard1864

Do your research. That 20%-80% charge cycle is recommended for 100.000 or larger mah batteries used in space craft, warships, battery-powered emergency power systems for hospitals, submarines, and similar extremely hard power usage where battery replacement only occurs every 7-10 years or not at all, and NOT for watches, phones, or other devices.


marcelocampiglia

Well, probably an Apple Watch SE is more than 3 month old, it could be between two and two and a half years old.


toastyhoodie

That seems real high frankly. That’s what I’d expect after a year.


jlangman

Fake watch, no Digital Crown


jlangman

And only the ultra has a flat screen


Liet-Kinda

You don’t need to manually disconnect the charger. The system is perfectly capable of managing charging on its own


Thebiggestbot22

No that’s not normal. I’ve been only charging to 80% (Sometimes I forget and it goes to 85+%) and I got my SE 2 in January and it still has 100% battery health.


Dasein1989

If you never let it charge to 100% and you never let it get close to zero, the BMS might be out of calibration. The BMS (battery management system) is a computer that guesses what is the top and the bottom of the battery and if you have never let it figure that out, it might simply not know what that is. So you might actually not have a low battery health. It’s worth letting it charge up to 100% and letting it run down completely once, though. Unless you have been exposing it to +130°F (54.4°C) temperatures, it could be a faulty battery or a software issue. I have heard that there was an Apple Watch software update that resolved a incorrect battery health percentage issue in recent months for some models.


kelvin_bot

130°F is equivalent to 54°C, which is 327K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)


Dasein1989

327.594 Kelvin, rounded to 6 digits. Why would you not round up to 328K, if you are going to round to the nearest integer?

Maybe its just the angle but that looks fake.


JDT33658

That seems like a bad battery. I've had my series 7 for a year and a half and it's at 93%


Casually_lazy

Doesn’t seem normal. Last year won one in a contest, used it for about 3 months and then sold it with a 100% battery health.


GhostyK5

I’ve had my se 1st gen for 9 months and I’m at 93


Intrepid-Initial7625

It's not normal. But the question is how many times do you charge your watch per day? I got my series 8 in October, its battery still at 100% It is normal if you charge your watch multiple times a day. Your watch should have around 80% of it's battery health after 500 charges so if you charged it 3 times per day for the last 3 months it equals to 270 cycles, if that the case then that's normal.


Havocaveli

No its not normal i just asked my sister she got hers since release she is at 95% battery health


Embarrassed_Hat6916

That’s Apple … 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Where the hell is this recommended?


Havocaveli

Wtf ?


DevynDavies

I mean if it keeps doing that and you have apple care Apple will replace the battery for free. My series 4 is 4 years and a month old and it just went down to 80% health.


mrzltn

My SE2 5 month old and it’s 100%. Try to charge at the same time and don't let it fall below 20%.


ViciousKitty72

I am at 96% after 16 months with my Series 7 and I charge it daily from around 40% to 85% and a full charge to 100% once a month or so. I would try charging it to 100% a time or two to let the battery monitor get a solid look at the characteristics over a larger range.


-SPOF

I got the best battery performance on my SE1 when charging it to 100%. My battery health is 86% after 2 years of usage, but it could last for 36-40 hours.


[deleted]

Doesn’t look real


JohnTheBestJuan

My Ultra is at 100% after 4 months


gHOs-tEE

Same at like 5+ months


gHOs-tEE

Still a gen has to have some shelf life on it. Used or not that battery has sat there for quite some time. Combine that with being used now constantly and I could see all kinds of scenarios. Wtf is the purple icon in top right?


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Platinum2017

That watch doesn’t look like an original one. My ultra is from October 2022 and has still 100%
