The Apple Watch battery life quote seems misleading due to this: "1. During normal use, Apple Watch Ultra can reach up to 36 hours of battery life with iPhone present."

Normal use WITH an iPhone present. I have a feeling the Apple Watch by itself in GPS mode will be much less.

The watch can have more or less battery life without a phone nearby; if you don't have a watch cellular plan it'd probably have somewhat more, since more features are turned off. Of course, if you want to force it you can use airplane mode.

That will be an interesting figure to find out when people start reviewing them.
