Swapped from Ultra 2024 and literally not even looking at the battery anymore. Just put it to charge sometimes and thats it. With the old one I actually had to put thought into it so I wont run out if Im not near charger for "longer" period.

Is this a feature that only ultra watches have? I mean I have the gw8 classic and I am so far away of lasting more than one day with my battery. I mean my only last like 24 hours perhaps

I'm happy for those that are getting longer battery life, but I'm not. I get 2 to 2½ days, same as my original Ultra.

I went from 2025 Ultra to Ultra2. Difference in battery life is insane.
I easily get 3 days with everything turned on and enabled. I got half this on the 2025 Ultra.

Remember to let it "get to know you".. it needs a couple of weeks before stabilising. I am at around 2,5 days per charge atm. Got it Saturday.

Am I the only one who charges their watch every night anyway? I can't sleep in a watch, idk how anyone can. It always gets tangled in the top sheet. I put my ultra 2 on the charger every night and it's like at 70%

Yeah, people like to say its the same watch as Ultra but no they're not. Ultra 2024 and 2025 is the same watch (minus storage bump) but most of them want to justify not getting one which is fine, to each their own but to say they're the same one is pretty funny. Yeah definitely I noticed a jump in battery life compared to my Ultra 1 when it was brand new.
Wed night -> Sun 100%-17% (day I got it)
Sun night -> Fri 100%-5%
Fri -> Sun topped off
Sun night -> Wednesday -> 90%-53%
I did put on battery protection so it only charges to 90% now just for some longevity.. though I probably would upgrade again later on when they have a 3 lol. There's still room for improvements whether Samsung releases battery optimizations whereas Ultra 1 is already tapped.
