Apple recently released the Apple Watch Ultra 2 smartwatch, which has a maximum normal use time of 72 hours in low-power settings, which is 12 hours longer than the 60 hours of the previous generation.
Hereby attached Apple’s official description of Apple Watch Ultra 2’s battery life as follows: “Battery life measured in days. When you’re on your second day of backpacking, the final sprint of a triathlon, or walking along a coral reef You don’t have to worry about low battery all the time. With Apple Watch Ultra 2, you can meet all kinds of challenges and be at ease everywhere.”
There is a small loophole here though, the way to test normal usage time on low power settings is not the same, so the 12-hour extension is objectionable.
Apple officially introduces the Apple Watch Ultra 2 battery life test method in the small print as follows:
Battery life in low power mode based on usage: 360 time checks, 360 notifications, 180 minutes of app use, two 60-minute workouts over Bluetooth in 72 hours Play music with Apple Watch.Apple’s official testing method for the battery life of the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra is as follows:
Multi-day adventure battery life is based on low-power mode and enabling workout settings to reduce heart rate and GPS readings (probably a function of battery optimization). Apple tested using the following methods: 15 hours of exercise, 600+ checks, 35 minutes of app use, 3 minutes of talk time, 15 hours of sleep tracking.Although Apple’s publicity gives people an intuitive improvement of 12 hours, the testing methods of the two are not the same, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings.
Foreign technology media MacRumors has contacted Apple but has not yet received a response. The media said that based on new testing methods, the original Apple Watch Ultra is also expected to have 72 hours of battery life, but it has not yet been confirmed.
