The Apple Watch Series 10 feature I didn’t see coming was incredible battery life. I’ve written about it time and time again, and I’m still blown away after more than three months of usage. The Series 10 routinely lasts around 30 hours on a charge. Even if I train hard for my marathon races, I still get well over 24 hours of battery life.
Add the Series 10’s fast-charging support, and I never have to go more than an hour without the wearable on my wrist. That’s an important factor for me, as I want to minimize the data gaps while tracking my health. I expect future Apple Watch generations to have even better battery life than the Series 10 and Ultra, as well as faster charging speeds.
While Apple’s plans to improve battery life for its various Apple Watch variants have not leaked, a big development just materialized in South Korea. Samsung is getting ready to manufacture solid-state batteries for small devices like wearables. If the company is successful, I wouldn’t be surprised to see huge battery life gains in 2026 Apple wearables like the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4.
