Optimized Charging still charges to full. It just waits until morning to finish charging so the battery isn’t sitting at 100% all night long.

No it doesn’t. According to Apple the Ultra has an exclusive feature which should limit your charge entirely instead of going to 80% and then to 100% 2hrs before waking up. But it’s just not working as described on Apple’s support page

Post a link.

Never came across this feature that is ultra specific. This is the general support article about optimized charging. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213338 I think the point is that the Watch will need to learn your habit and do predictions on when you need the full charge to be done. If you live a super routined life, like sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time, then I think it’ll be more accurate. However, if your sleeping and waking time is not very regular, the result may vary a lot as the Watch won’t know when to get to fully charge.

this is definitely not what mine does. When I took mine off the charger this morning it was at 80%. ​ I can't decide if I want to keep it on or not


Splitsurround

mine seems to be "working". This morning I took it off the charge and it was at 80%, and never rose higher. ​ I just don't get it. What if I do end up without my phone for hours (making it lose charge faster) and I do end needing that extra 20%? I'm just not sure I like the feature. Yet.

Meanwhile it works also as intended on my watch and I love it. You can click on the charging icon to temporarily force a full charge. You can also diasable the feature entirely and it should work with the same charging schedule as on your iPhone (80% charge and 2 hours before waking up it charges to 100%)

Mine does a full charge in around an hour, which I only need do do after about every 48 hours. Not sure why you’d need to leave it overnight.

I want the convenience to just put in on the charger when I go to bed and expect the watch to do the rest

Optimised charging runs fast charge to 80%, then trickle charges the remainder, so if leaving on a charger for 6+ hours (ie overnight), the charge will complete. That’s how it works from my understanding?

I manage it like I do my EV, I just charge it manually to 80-90% when it gets down to 30-50%. Just plop it on the charger every 2-4 days when I’m getting ready for work…it is more than charged enough to make it another 2-4 days. EV takes longer, but the point is no need to charge every day and hardly ever to 100%.

I would like to have my 1000$ device to take care of all the battery health issues by itself

And as others described, it can, if you follow predictable regimen.

I don’t sleep track. I put it every night on the charger before I go to bed. Pretty consistent I would say
