Sources say the Watch should display its clock face for approximately three hours, including watch ticking animations, if nothing else is done with the device. Also, Apple is now targeting 2.5 hours of "heavy" application use, such as processor-intensive gameplay.
9to5mac points out that in passive use where the device is prodded to display, the battery may last several days
"Considered separately, the active use app, clock, and fitness numbers sound very low, but the reality is that people will passively wear the Apple Watch for most of the day, actively interacting with it only for short periods of time. That's why the Watch will be able to last the average user roughly a day on a single charge," 9to5mac wrote. ■
