Yep.I assume you’re on watchOS 6 right? Is your watch cellular?
Didn't use the cellular part before today, so maybe I don't get to 50% anymore

Possibly a way of trying to tempt folks to upgrade? Both 38mm and 42mm watches also have less resolution than the 40mm. It could be that trying to make these watch faces fit the old smaller screens compromises how good they look?So annoying that they only have 2 watch faces for the S3. I can’t understand why!
My guess is it will be added during a later beta. All the new faces like roman numerals, california, gradient ALL have circular variants that would go perfect on S1-S3 watches. As was the cace with all the WatchOS 5 faces like vapor, fire/water, etc.I really wanted the Watch face with Roman numerals.

I kinda doubt there will be any more faces to the Series 3. I downloaded Beta 2 yesterday and no new faces thus far. I don’t really mind because I’d probably still use modular any way.
I sold my Series 4 to get the Series 5 when it comes out. Even after I get my Series 5 I’m planning on using Modular
Here’s a shot of the calculator on the Series 3.

A note regarding the excessive battery loss on watchOS 6. I’m not so sure that it’s related to watchOS 6 after all. I’ve been using my Series 3 on watchOS 5.3 and guess what? Same rapid battery loss. If I take the watch off the charger at 8am, it needs to be recharged before dinner. Prior to upgrading to iOS 13, this Series 3 watch would last 2 days.
So...the battery problems may be related to pairing with an iPhone using iOS 13.
No issues with my iPhone X being on iOS 13 and watch being on watchOS 5.2. I’m getting the same 3 day battery life.
View attachment 841296 I’m real happy about this one. When I would lift weights I would have to reverse orientation so my gloves wouldn’t trigger SOS.
@perezr10 Can you change AirPlay audio target on Now Playing?

Yes, you can. I was playing a podcast on my iPhone when driving home. I whipped up my watch and transferred it to my HomePod when I walked in the door.
Three days? What kind of nuclear-battery do you have in your watch? I know I use mine more than the average, but two days is not even possible
I’m not sure, I just use it. I don’t do anything crazy. I use it for text and call notifications, alarms and tracking of exercise. No extreme settings changes.
At the 48 hour mark, the charge is usually around 40%.
I used to have 3 days battery life on my S3 when it came out. Almost two years and several software updates later, it lasts two days but barely (at 7PM I get low battery notification).
I'll wait with updating to watchOS 6 until I see some reviews. I would hate it if it caused battery to last just one day.
I really can’t understand how anyone claims to get 2 days, and especially three days, of battery life on an Apple Watch. I’m especially baffled if someone says they’re getting that and using the watch for workouts.
I almost never end the day at more than 40 or 50 percent. Granted, I exercise about an hour each day. Still, I cannot think of a scenario where I could get 2 days. 3 days...forget about it.
After going from S0 to a S3, I have got into the habit of charging mine daily. On average it’s on 69% usually when I go to charge it.
