I recently purchased a Watch FE and although I'm generally pleased with it I'm finding the battery life to be very disappointing. With the default settings I'm getting about 10-11 hours of use on a full charge. I'm wondering if this is to be expected or a problem with this paticular watch.
The watch has an adaptive battery, it takes a while to learn your usage patterns. It's also small. I don't know what your battery life expectations are, but 15-24 hours is usually max. Battery life depends on what you have turned on and what may be running in the background. Using AOD will reduce battery life. Using raise wrist to wake will turn the screen on every time you move your arm, so that will waste some battery. Each notification vibration will use battery, so if you get a lot of notifications, expect shorter life. When the watch is out of BT range of your phone, it uses battery to try to find it, especially if you have remote connection on. Phone calls (incoming or outgoing) will take more battery power if you answer/make calls directly from the watch. Not to mention that the sensors are always active. Most of us have just gotten used to charging the watch twice a day. I usually have a power bank with me.
