Apple Watch Ultra Battery Life

Can anyone suggest settings adjustments/configurations for an Apple Watch Ultra that has never gotten more than 12hr of wear without the battery dying?


Worn daily for nearly 2 months paired with a Pro Max 11. Have tried resetting multiple times, disabling cellular, background app updates, AoD, all the health tracking apps, etc. Have tried leaving 100% untouched after resetting. Always dies after 12hr. My 3 year old Series 5 Apple Watch gets a full day use (nearly double the battery life) with all features enabled (only charging between wake and shower) while in the same environment/use scenario.


Is there some feature the Ultra has that's draining battery at such a drastically higher rate than my Series 5 that I could disable to get me at least back to the performance of my old watch?

My watch is getting maximum 6-8 hours, hence applecare said there is no issue with watch.
I don't know why apple making money from defected products.


Which Watch series, what is its current battery health, how active are the apps and the radios, and what did Apple indicate the issues were?


I wouldn’t expect much more than that with a Watch 5 moderate use and with its cellular radio active (and out of range of its paired iPhone), for instance.


For an Ultra or Ultra 2 such as mentioned this thread, that battery duration would seem unusually low, whether that is due to hardware or some bonkers-active app or some other issue?
