Battery Life of Apple Watch SE vs Ultra 2

One of the major issues with smartwatches is the battery life. There are few smartwatches available right now which provide a decent battery backup right now but Apple Watch Series SE is exceptional with up to 18 hours of battery life and faster charging. It gives you 2 full days of backup when moderately used and it will not be able to give you more than 2 days of backup if you use it heavily. Voice commands are the worst enemy of battery and drain it too quickly.

The charging method of the Apple watches series SE is the same as that of the other Apple watch series and it comes with a magnetic charger with a USB C cable to the plugin.
