I bought a new Apple Watch SE 41mm back in May... and it's been twice already when I go to sleep accidentally with the battery around 50% and I wake up and the battery is dead. The first time I could still see the watchOS with my watch face but as soon as I opened the sleep app after waking up it died, and today, it was just dead already when I woke up didn't even show me the watch face. Put it on it's charger and it showed me the boot up apple logo and then started charging from "critical" condition.
Here's the thing: when I bought it and tried to turn it on it was dead.. this already worried me but after charging it said battery health was at 100% so I thought nothing more of it.. but it's strange to me it sometimes wont last through the night sleep tracking... is the new sleep tracking that taxing on the battery? or is it that my battery is faulty because it spent too many months dead there at the store?
I mean 45-50ish % to dead in 7 hours of sleep is normal? Sometimes I'll charge it to 60% and wake up with 47% or so.. that's on a normal night.. but if I forget to charge it things like these will happen.. but I never let it drop before 40% so it's strange to me that on a normal night it's 60-50% or 60-45% but on other it's 45% (?) to DEAD.. like as soon as it crosses the 45% to lower it's on a "steep slope" to nothing.. that's the feeling I get.. 🤔
My question is how do your apple watches hold up? even at those percentages it lasts through the night no?
My guess is my watch has a "high impedence" as Apple mentions on this page (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210551)... and that having the battery dead for so long causes it to suddenly discharge quickly for some reason..
I have Apple care but they wont take it in for this will they? battey health has to indicate it's less than 80%, right?
