Apple Watch Series 9 'Basically Unchanged' Other Than Performance Boost From S9 Chip - Lemmy.world

Still holding on to my S4 until it dies or they make a decent upgrade to battery life.

If you don’t need the new features they have made massive improvements to battery life; they’re just hidden behind the new features a s5 owner might not care or need.

When I got my S6, I disabled:

  • Pulse OX
  • Always on display
  • noise monitoring

When new, I was getting 56 hours.

I’m down to about 48 hours after just over two years.

I did not know you could disable noise monitoring, or as I like to call it ‘hand is outside the window while driving’ alert.
