I essentially use it for health-things. I listen to podcasts/music off of it when I run or row so I don't have to carry a phone around. Today, for example, I was at 40%-ish at around noon after putting in on around 6am and exercising for roughly 90 minutes.

That is bizarre. The watch I bought in 2020, lasts me two full days. I go running between 30-60 minutes every day. Battery life has never been an issue for me, and it almost even feels like an old nokia in terms of battery life.

However, I turned off almost all notifications on my watch because they are mostly annoying, except text messages and protonmail. I turned off the “always on” watch face. I keep a very small subset of apps on the watch.

I also don’t have a cellular version of it, wifi only.

I do have the cellular version and I definitely don't manage notifications, and my watch face is always on. So, I certainly could take steps to squeeze enough life to make it last from 6am-10pm, but I just don't really want to.
