Charged it at 7:55pm. Went to sleep with the watch woke up around 80%. It’s 2pm and it’s at 22%. I haven’t used the watch other than wear it to keep time. Its just doing the regular things like heart beat and tracking steps. Haven’t used it for work out or any of the other stuff. Battery health is at 99%. Just got this last week. Is this normal use? Thought it was quoted 36 hours battery life under regular use.
As others have mentioned make sure you’re up to date. I had this issue recently with poor battery life. The fix for me was a restart of my iPhone first and then watch- hopefully this helps!
Are you making sure you’re closing all of it’s apps? My last full charge was Sunday night at 10:43pm, and it’s now Tuesday at 3:43pm and I’m still at 49%. Could also be network connectivity issues, or mistakenly leaving WiFi turned on when it’s not needed
Power cycle it
Well, I count vouch for you since you only posted the watch’s battery graph, but the watch is definitely using too much power. I put my U2 on 6 hours ago at 100%, and it’s now at 96%, with the same usage as you had. I’d start with a reboot to see if that helps.
There was a bug with watch OS10.1 where third party apps were tanking battery life. My series 8 was dying every 4 hours or so. For me, uninstalling the MobyFace app resolved the issue. When 10.1.1 dropped, I didn’t bother to reload the app. So if you have the MobyFace app, it may be worth trying to remove it
You’re just showing off your fancy shirt and fancy watch… Looks great though.

I’d say it’s dying ULTRA quick 😉
Update to 10.1.1, the most recent OS. It was designed to fix the rapid decrease in battery life seen in some models, IIRC, that includes the S9, which would include the ultra 2 as it’s the same chip. Regardless, that’s the first step to troubleshoot it. If it’s already on 10.1.1, try a hard restart, hold the button and crown down at the same time to get a restart.
watchOS version ?
That sounds like a bug of some kind 🫤 i’d restart and then maybe even unpair and factory reset, then return to Apple if nothing changes.
This is probably the key, even though it does a restart with an update it’s always best to restart the device anyway I just clears out some crap that might be causing an issue
My Series 5 battery seems to be dying more quickly also since the last update. I guess we have to watch (ha) it and see
I turned it off and on again after the uodate ajd it helped 100-20 after 10 hours and 2 hours of running
Worth a shot!
That did the trick! 6 hours in and only 14% used. Thanks!

10.1 was great and 10.1.1 such a massive disappointment, battery-wise

Just upgrade to new ultra 2 and you won’t complain anymore, new one keeps battery for 3 days by using the same features as you have mentioned, my own experience 🤓
It would depends of your usage and settings
I get two solid days with mine on the latest WatchOS.
