So until your watch decides to finally hit that 80% mark (it can sit at something like 81% for ages) what do you suggest until you do then? A watch at 81-85% is gonna have the same problem of not lasting the day. I don't want to turn off the AOD or any of the sensors I paid for.

My series 6 dropped battery health consistently, UNTIL it hit 80%. Now it's just sitting at 80% for over 6 months, so I can't get it replaced under AppleCare. It's fucking bullshit.

lol my 7 has been at 80% for close to a year. When it was actually at 80% it was ok, now I’m lucky to get through a day, and I have to charge it if I do a workout. Almost makes me want to get a garmin or something else.

I'm going to swap my watch for a friend's garmin for a month or 2, I can really sacrifice some of the features (I just need health tracking, notification and music control really) for longer battery life.

If Pebble is still around and work as well as it did on Android when it died I'd be using it still.
