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.

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.
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
I get two solid days with mine on the latest WatchOS.
My battery life improved after updating the software.
Last charged sun, just plugged it in at 15%.
Battery health at 99% and you bought it last week? That doesn’t sound right.
Mine lasts more than two full days. I don’t wear while sleeping.
Do you have any active complications on your face? I had the noise level complication on my watch face, and it ate battery because it was always working.
It’s definitely 10. I have been trying to update for three days now it is become unusable. I get 45 minutes to an hour tops.
After the latest update, everything works normally again. Before that update, it was those widgets that drained the battery significantly.
this was happening to me last week. I updated it, then i unpaired it then re-paired it with my iphone - and it’s back to normal.
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
10.1 was great and 10.1.1 such a massive disappointment, battery-wise

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!
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
watchOS version ?
It would depends of your usage and settings
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!
