Apple products are known for longevity, but they don’t last forever. Here’s how long your new Apple Watch will last, and what you can do to make it last longer.
When you invest in any electronic device, you hope it will last long enough to get your money’s worth. While Apple products come with tons of features, one of their main draws is their longevity. You may have to pay more upfront for the benchmark Apple Watch Series 9 than other smartwatches, but the expectation is that in return for your investment, you’ll get a product that can stand the test of time. And while there’s always a risk you’ll end up with a lemon, for the most part, that expectation holds true.
Whether you use Apple Watch’s many features to track your health stats or translate foreign languages when visiting new lands, you can generally count on it to serve you well for several years. However, just how long it lasts will depend on several things, including how well you take care of it and how long it continues to receive updates from Apple.
By some estimates, consumers can expect the typical Apple Watch to last somewhere between three and five years. However, that’s not a hard-and-fast rule, and the product has no singular lifespan. Instead, a combination of factors over the span of several years will eventually cause people to stop using it.How long will my Apple Watch’s battery last?
While Apple doesn’t publish statistics on how long users can expect the Apple Watch to last, there are clues that can help us estimate this — one of the biggest being its battery. If you’ve used a standard Apple Watch, you know you can expect to get about 18 hours of use out of a full charge, while the Apple Watch Ultra 2’s battery lasts twice as long, at least at first.
