How does the battery drains during heat waves? I noticed mine gets depleted too fast when the temperature outside is 30+ degrees ( Celsius ).
I use an Apple Watch series 3 near the coast in Ecuador (30 degrees celsius year round).
Battery has been fine for me. I wear it at night for sleep tracking, and charge it when I shower. Even on days when I shower once, I usually manage to get through the day without issue.
As an unrelated anecdote, I have an e-book reader and its battery lasted the longest when I went to a place with 30+ temperatures.
It lasted for two weeks and a half reading about 4 hours a day.
Not sure. It rarely breaks 30 here (Bay Area) and when it does I stay inside mostly. :)
My series 0 worked great until the glue came off of the screen last week. Screen flapped open, caught on my backpack, and ripped the connector cables clean in half. No indication of problems until catastrophic failure, and I took great care of the thing. Bummed.
This happened to my Series 0 last summer. Obviously, it was out of warranty by over 2 years.
I took it to the Apple Store. They gave me a brand-new stainless steel Series 0. Apparently the battery swells sometimes, in the older watches, after a lot of use, and pops off the screen.
That's what I call customer service. That's the experience I get over, and over, and over again, from Apple. That's why I keep coming back.
Apple backs up its products.
Take your Watch in, and give it a try.
Well I guess the good news is that you can get the newly lowered price Watch 3 and have a major upgrade! :)
Sorry about your watch though, I'd be bummed too if that happened.

Yeah mine's been off the charger for about eight hours today and I'm only down to 70%. You'd think a launch-day Series 0 would be suffering more battery degradation by now.
It's been worn every day (and charged every night) since it was purchased.
