Just got an apple watch 7 41mm today. Overall love it. But ive heard that the battery is meant to last 18 hours?

It was 50% when i opened it, and it got to 20% in 6 hours (mind me that it was hardly used. On my wrist and glanced at with always on display.

Honestly that didnt really bug me, however i slapped it on charge until 80% and just saw it go from 70% to 66% in the matter of minutes.

BH is 97%, so it it just the case if watchOS 10 bugs? Will it get better?

    Yeah, WatchOS 10 is definitely a drop from WatchOS 9, but it was still useable levels on my Series 7 until 10.1.1 (ironically this version was supposed to fix people with massive battery issues), and now i’m not making it much past 12 hours with Always On Display turned on and no major usage.

    The bad news is I also went to the 10.2 beta a few days ago and its no better.
