No such issue la. Been using ECG since January and only once drained due to new update but normalized in the next charge. All well and I have updated to the latest firmware as well.

That was just an isolated case.

Alright thanks for the heads up! icon_rolleyes.gif

by the way, for those who go for sports almost daily, what kinda strap do you all use? I assume that you won't be using leather one since it doesn't really make sense when you will be sweating? Just curious.

Guys, is there any way or app that can alert me once my watch is fully charge? I know the setting up bedtime can but that notification does not have sound which defeats the purpose.

Try “Juice Watch”. It has notification for fully charge.

I could be wrong but if you haven't previously activated ECG it wont be automatically activated after updating. You need to go into health app and activate it under heart.

Maybe those whom recently updated haven’t activated ECG previously can confirm this.

Overall battery life seems to become better after the latest update.

However I didn't activate the ECG, but i don't see the battery drops drastically especially after bed, seems to be better.

During the day, I only wear if im going to exercise, otherwise I just leave it on the table.

I think battery may drop if you enable the bedtime mode for sleep-tracking.

Got myself a cheap watch strap from shopee for sports purposes.
The quality really different than the original Apple Strap (of course apple one is thicker).

Will be looking into other straps as well. Anyone using UAG's?

Don’t know, find the straps a bit cheap and thin. But since I am wearing it for sports and always kena sweat and have to wash all the time, let it be la.

search for a used/second hand unit to get a cheaper price. i doubt there is much difference buying from overseas, not worth the effort...

Hey all, wanna check with you about sleep tracking.
For an example, I have an alarm set at 8am, of course by then I wake up. But i slept back for another 3 hours. Apple Watch doesn't seem to register when i sleep back. And it doesn't only happen once, it happens everyday though.

Noticed an unusually high battery drain the past few days. I could usually charge every day and a half (AW would be at around 30% then). It drained down to 30% within half a day.

Restarted/turned off the AW and it seems to have been fixed. 10% drain overnight and 3% drain since I woke up until now. Amazing how restarts help things out.
