Got my 235 for Christmas - the first day I charged it to 100 % , the second day would only each 99, then 98 and so on. started charging exclusively with the computer and today when plugged in it said 100%, but the watch only said 97% when it came off of the charger. Any ideas? Is this normal?
Not really abnormal, but you probably ought to run the battery down to 10% or so then fully recharge it to ensure its had a chance to calibrate the battery gauge. You don't need (or want) to do so every time, these batteries do fine just being topped up, but you do want to do it every once in a while.
I'm on my third charging cycle, via USB using my Macbook Pro laptop, having recharged at 12% and 8%. Each time: charged up to 100% plugged in but as soon as i unplug the watch says 98%.
I think it's just a software thing, and i'm sure an update will recalibrate the scale to match our expectations. I'm not worried about it.
I have the same issue. Charge mine to 100% and then the watch says 97. Haven't stressed about it. I'm more irritated that after charging I have to reboot my phone and the watch a couple times to get them to sync up again.
Four years later and their brand new watches are having the same issue you list here. Apparently they don't care about 100% being 100% or showing that or what their customers think. I thought maybe they didn't have enough digital space for 3 digits and that's why no 100%, but at least put it at 99% then, and not 98%. Whatever. Just a detail that they don't care about and I do.
