Do Apple Watch batteries wear out after a few years? My V4 watch,purchased two years ago, is not holding charge as long as it used to do. Charge easily lasted for more than one day. No longer. lucky if I get thru the regular 6:30 A M to11:00 pm day

My Vs4 apple watch , now two years old is no longer holding charge as long as previously

Formerly, a charge lasted more than one day.. sometimes two days. Now, by late afternoon or in early evening I get notified watch is using reserve

OR, I have been startled, at night (circa 11:00 PM) When I put my watch on the charger, I see red instead of the usual green- telling me, again, that the battery is low.

Charger is plugged in -


Is this normal? Is the watch supposed to wear out in a couple of years?

OR, Do the chargers wear out?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:

Apple Watch - Battery - Apple

Apple Watch Battery and Performance - Apple Support


“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:

Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple


If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:
