Nearly 3 days of normal usage from my Ultra 2 with no low power mode required. (alien.top)

The battery on the Ultra 2 is so great compared to my old Series 7. I think I could get just shy of 3 days/72 hours of proper usage (this was including 1 hour of an outdoor walk being tracked, and 1 hour of tradtional strength workout in the workouts app) if I played my cards right. Charged to 95% on Sunday night 8:10pm, now at 6:50pm on Tuesday night and it's still got 1/3 charge left. Their 36 hours was VERY kind.

The only settings I have changed are;

  • turning off detect gym equipment
  • disabled some background app refresh apps (but not entirely), and
  • an automation to disable "wake to raise" when I am at work.

Brightness is set to default 2/3 and I have most notifications turned off (messages is about all that come through).

I am stoked, I no longer have any battery paranoia compared to having to set my old watch to cinema mode while I was at the gym after work because I had 15% battery left.

I’m assuming you mean for the sunset watch face?

go to automations

time of day (sunset, daily, run immediately)

new blank automation

add set watch face, set to an analogue face you like

add set silent mode, make it turn on

hit done

then again, automations

time of day (2 hours before sunrise, daily, run immediately)

new blank automation

add set watch face, select your day time face

add set silent mode, turn silent mode off

focuses are fine, I use them too for work, gym and sleep but the sunset/sunrise can’t be attached to a focus and I don’t like the icon there when I am home/doing my weekend errands.

I have automations set up to change my watch face to an analogue face at sunset (looks better and is less distracting at home/out at dinner) and then back again an hour before sunrise as well as different faces attached to different focuses.

I’m just wondering how other people choose to automate their watch face changes?
