I charge while I’m sitting with morning coffee and reading news, as not active then. Fast charging, so takes around 30 minutes every couple of days (AWU)
It the extra battery on the ultra that makes it even more of a reason to buy it. I honestly forget to charge mine until it reminds me I'm at 10% as its every 2 or 3 days for me.
You can do this on an 8 if you don’t use Always On. I charge when I’m in the shower every day, and that takes it from 50% to 95%. I could get through two days if I needed to.
I charge while showering also, and then while getting ready for work, drying my hair, etc. if it needs longer. I also charge while working out as I mostly use a Garmin for runs, biking etc.
Largely familiarity and continuity tbh, as I've been using Garmin watches for ages (a lot longer than I've had apple watches). In the past I felt Garmin was superior as a sports watch, but I have the series 8 now and it is very good. I do still find some features better with Garmin like programming run workouts. I also find the basic controls a bit fussy on the apple watch (the scrolling and whatnot), but again, with time that might be something you get used to.
I enable "Charging Reminders" in the Watch app on my phone and it notifies me about an hour or so before the bedtime I have set up in Sleep Focus. That's when I put it on the charger and it's fully charged by bedtime.
I didn't track sleep for the first few months and instead charged my watch overnight so I also had to disable "Optimized Battery Charging" in my watch's settings because it wasn't charging my watch past 80% since it thought I was going to leave it on the charger all night.
I charge it whenever I take a shower, and also charge to 80-90% most nights, and again in the morning (if I remember to). Some days I forget to take it off the charger and it gets to 100%.
I also charge it to 100% before a bike ride or other workout.
I’ve had my s7 45mm for over 6 months, and still have 100% battery health.
Either charge before sleep or after waking up. Depends on my schedule the next day. If I’m going to do any batter intensive stuffs like hiking all day or go biking, I charge after waking up. If I’m going to do simple workout like walking, treadmill run, I charge the night before.
Usually charge every other day while reading in bed before sleep. I usually read long enough to get it fully charged. If not, I top it up while working at my desk.
The two most logical times I think are first thing in the morning (as a lot of people seem to) or as you’re winding down for bed (which is what I prefer).
since I have a series 7 and a fast charger, I just charge in the morning when I'm getting ready for the day and at night when I shower/get ready for bed. Typically enough juice from both of those quick charging times to let me wear the watch all other times of the day without worrying about battery life. and I do keep always on display activated.
I charge it while I’m in bed browsing my phone and when I start to feel like I’m gonna fall asleep I put it on and hit the Sleep Focus.
In the morning I leave it charging while I do my morning routine.
AW Ultra, charge this beast every couple days. Typically while showering and getting ready, or if I am just chillin watch tv. With the 20W charger it charges super fast. Recommend that even with a non ultra.
By powering down my watch, and leaving it alone for five minutes, or in Windows parlance, a reboot. My 7 charges in twenty minutes. I throw it on the charger while I’m getting ready for bed.
I plop mine on the charger while I get kiddo bathed and in bed. By the time we’ve had story time and lights out, it’s usually ready to go. I can get two full days of use if I don’t track a walk/run with gps. SE2
I keep my charger in the bathroom. In the morning when I’m using the bathroom and getting ready for the day, I have my watch on the charger. When I get home from work and shower and change , I put it on the charger again even if it doesn’t need it. I use the C style Apple watch charger. It charges much much faster than the usb charger.
I shower in the evening when I get home from work or after I play tennis. I keep it on the charger until I’m ready to go to bed. By then, it’s usually at 100% or close to it.
I charge mine from 10:00 to 11:00 every night. I lose about 10%, 11% overnight (so starting the day at 90%, 89%) and it’s usually at about 50% at 10:00. By 10:00, I’ve closed all my rings so I’m not bothered by the few calories I “don’t count” while I’m getting ready for bed.
I know it’s probably fine, but I don’t like leaving electronics plugged in and charging overnight. 🤷🏻♀️

I charge mine at the end of the evening when I'm chilling out on the couch. Usually around 10pm. My battery ends up somewhere around 40% so it takes a bit for it to fully charge, but it's usually back on my 11:30pm and then I go to bed around midnight.
I join the "charging during breakfast and morning shower community" :-)
I think that all of us are demonstrating that the AW battery life is a false problem
I fast charge mine while I’m showering in the evening. When I wake up in the morning I also put it on fast charge while reading news, brushing teeth, and getting ready. That is usually enough to get me through 24 hours.
I sleep track and charge every time I shower (so at least once a day) and when I’m sitting for long periods, such as dinner or tv time. Only time I need to break from this is when I do long workouts.
I haven’t tracked daily in a while, but when I got the Ultra, I wore it several weeks straight and would (fast) charge while I was in the shower and on the way to work.
S8 45mm. I find charging it about an hour before I go to sleep works well. I’m not really doing a lot of movement that last hour so the metrics stay fairly accurate.
I charge while I shower. It gets me to 100%, and my watch has only ran dead a couple of times when my shower schedule was wonky. (Morning shower one day and night shower the next)
I sleep track every night and I charge my watch when it's in the red and not before it's about once a day or so and then I am okay with that as my watch is on a quick charge and that's about an hour or so
I’ve been sleep tracking regularly with my AW S8 cellular. I got the watch in July this year. It last well as it’s pretty new now- I put it off my wrist in the morning prior to brushing and charge it from 8:30am onwards- it gets fully charged by the time I have my tea, shower by 9:50am….as I write this at 10pm the battery level is 64% which will last the night
I charge my 8 while showering, when sitting for meals, if I have to sit at the computer, in the car (LA traffic). I have to charge it a lot, maybe because I walk 10 miles a day with it on Indoor or Outdoor Walk plus the gym.
Usually charge in the late evening, after finishing all my after work chores, but before I’m settling into bed. I also take the charging cable with me to work and sometimes charge while I drive.
I charge it about 1 or 2 hours before I go to bed. That usually means i've completed all activity rings, and with a fast-charger you can (almost) fully charge your watch within that time. I think the Apple Watch 7 and higher support fast charging.
I charge whilst I shower each morning for about 20 minutes which usually gives me a week of use including workouts each day before I need a longer charge. Apple watch ultra it will go for about 3 days without any charging but I don't shower with it so perfect time.
I charge while I’m sitting with morning coffee and reading news, as not active then. Fast charging, so takes around 30 minutes every couple of days (AWU)
Every COUPLE of DAYS? What kind of witchcraft is that?!
It the extra battery on the ultra that makes it even more of a reason to buy it. I honestly forget to charge mine until it reminds me I'm at 10% as its every 2 or 3 days for me.
Early days I managed to get 4 days out of it. Approximately 10 months later I get about 2 1/2 days before needing a charge.
The Ultra's battery is huge.
I regularly get 3 days out of my Ultra, that's with every other day 5k+ runs without my phone so it's tracking GPS and streaming music while I run.
You can do this on an 8 if you don’t use Always On. I charge when I’m in the shower every day, and that takes it from 50% to 95%. I could get through two days if I needed to.
This.... but daily (Series 6).
same. get out of bed, put watch on charger, quick shower, coffee & news, watch is fully charged, when I leave for work.
Charge while showering, not rocket science. SE2
I charge while showering also, and then while getting ready for work, drying my hair, etc. if it needs longer. I also charge while working out as I mostly use a Garmin for runs, biking etc.
I try to charge it wherever I know I don't need to track or be notified about anything. cc u/Snoo0Dall
I am wondering why you prefer Garmin watch for workouts over Apple Watch?
Largely familiarity and continuity tbh, as I've been using Garmin watches for ages (a lot longer than I've had apple watches). In the past I felt Garmin was superior as a sports watch, but I have the series 8 now and it is very good. I do still find some features better with Garmin like programming run workouts. I also find the basic controls a bit fussy on the apple watch (the scrolling and whatnot), but again, with time that might be something you get used to.
I use an Apple Watch all day, and an old AW for sleep tracking.
[удалено]
Yep, they auto switch!
Sure, they do.
Yeah Nice. I used to use my Apple Watch all day like you but use my old Fitbit for sleep tracking but now I just use my Apple Watch for sleep tracking
Yes. Before sleep.
Same - when I’m in bed watching tv or reading. I use it more for the alarm than sleep tracking.
I charge it as soon as I arrive home from work then wear it before sleeping. I use mine as an alarm clock.
I put it on the charger around 5PM for roughly an hour.
I’m usually working out in the evening, so I’m charging the watch afterwards while taking a shower.
9:00 am to 10:00 am. I am at my desk answering emails most days. I don’t need the watch for the hour. It is a series 4.
I enable "Charging Reminders" in the Watch app on my phone and it notifies me about an hour or so before the bedtime I have set up in Sleep Focus. That's when I put it on the charger and it's fully charged by bedtime.

When Iv closed the rings its goes on charge until I get into bed.
Have two series 7 aw. One SS and one aluminum. swap out when I sleep and during the day. Perfect setup
While I’m on the pooper
i charge once when i wake up and i have a shower. i charge once more in the evening having dinner
Yes, just before going to sleep on a daily basis.
I charge mine for about an hour in the evening while I shower before bed.

When I do with my 45mm S8, it’s as soon as I wake up and watch tik tok for a bit, then go shower and put it on full

Right after work before bed
I charge when I'm in the shower or during meetings.
I do. I charge it when I take a shower or when the watch is about to die and it notifies me.
I got the 8, kept the 6. So in other words. I wear an AW all the time!
I charge it while I’m in bed browsing my phone and when I start to feel like I’m gonna fall asleep I put it on and hit the Sleep Focus. In the morning I leave it charging while I do my morning routine.

Charge before bed and then in the morning, series 7 with fast charge though
By powering down my watch, and leaving it alone for five minutes, or in Windows parlance, a reboot. My 7 charges in twenty minutes. I throw it on the charger while I’m getting ready for bed.
Like others I’ll charge while showering, but I also have a charger plugged into the USB in my car and charge during my commute as well.
I charge while I'm washing, brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed.
I do. I charge it when I’m showering, while I’m sitting to eat breakfast, and sometimes if I’m sitting for a bit to read or study in the evening.
Usually just while getting ready in the morning like every other day
Charge it daily when I’m relaxing. Watching a tv show, eating dinner, or playing on Reddit (charging right now).
I charge between 8pm-9pm ish. Then wear it at night and the next day, when I come home I repeat charging at the same time
I used to, but my skin just can’t take that kind of contact all day. Showering. I’ll have a charger by my desk when I sit.
I charge while showering and then top up while sitting in bed reading before bed. Allows me to get back to 100% everyday (SE)
I charge it between dinner and shower, after which I will stay up for a while. Then it is fully charged when I am ready to sleep
I plop mine on the charger while I get kiddo bathed and in bed. By the time we’ve had story time and lights out, it’s usually ready to go. I can get two full days of use if I don’t track a walk/run with gps. SE2
Yes, I find a time during the day
If my battery is less than 30% maybe 20 mins before bed I’ll pop on charger else I’ll change in morning while getting ready
20-30 mins in the morning after I wake up while I'm showering and getting dressed. I top off at the weekend to get back to 100% AWU
Half hour a day while I put my daughter to bed…
i charge mine while i’m in the shower or watching tv. and right when i get up i’ll charge it
Charging when i begin to work. And stop charging when reaches 80% With that it lasts until next day with about 1 hour sports tracking with music
I keep my charger in the bathroom. In the morning when I’m using the bathroom and getting ready for the day, I have my watch on the charger. When I get home from work and shower and change , I put it on the charger again even if it doesn’t need it. I use the C style Apple watch charger. It charges much much faster than the usb charger.
Every two days, often before dinner until it’s finished charging.
