Apple watch series 9 high battery cycle count
Dear Members, i bought Apple watch series 9 on 30 Jan 2025 and in span of 4 months, when i check the battery cycle count it is 148. Battery health is showing 100%. That comes to average of 37 counts per month. My usage is very limited as i only use during the office hour and shut down my watch in the evening. I have Ultra 1 refurbished also which i use and so not using my series 9 everyday. So in essence i charge my watch every 3 days and yet the battery cycle count is showing 148? How can it be. I charge usually from 15-18% to 95-97%.
Even if i charge everyday for 4 months, the battery cycle count average would be 120. Despite charging twice in a week for 4 months, the battery cycle count is high. Am i doing something wrong by shutting down the watch in the evening and starting again in the morning when i want to wear it?
The cycle count in Ultra1 is 492 and as i bought used so didnt check the counts but battery health was showing 100% and now has dropped to 98% straight away after the update. If Apple is saying battery count is good for 1000 cycles and it will show till then 80% then battery health in my Ultra 1 should be around 90%.
Kindly suggest me where am i going wrong?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8
