I disabled one Apple Watch Series 10 feature to get amazing battery life
As I type this, my Apple Watch Series 10's battery has dropped to 26%. I'm about to put it on the charger for about an hour before I go out for my next run. I last charged it almost 30 hours ago.
Marathon training is the main reason why I decided to buy the Apple Watch Series 10 even before I chose my iPhone 16. The battery of the Apple Watch SE 2 I used for about two years degraded to under 80% to the point where I had to recharge the device twice a day. I no longer trust the Apple Watch SE 2 would last me an entire marathon race.
Sure, I could have just replaced the battery, but I also wanted the new Apple Watch Series 10 features, including the design tweaks, improved health tracking, and much faster charging. As for battery life, I was happy with the 18-hour estimate that Apple has used since the first-gen Apple Watch. That's what all-day battery life means for non-Ultra devices.
Imagine my surprise to realize that my Apple Watch Series 10 had been awake for 29 hours and 26 minutes since the last charge. During this time, I ran a 10K training session with plenty of walking on top of that. I never took the watch off, and I tracked my sleep.
How did the Apple Watch Series 10 pull off such great battery life? I suspect that all I had to do was change this one setting to boost battery life significantly.
