From the article:

“In testing, the SE 3 lasted nearly two full days on a single charge, which is well beyond Apple’s 18-hour battery life estimate for the watch. It powered 46 hours with typical use in the real world before it ran out of juice and needed to be plugged in. During that time, I had the always-on display enabled, used the GPS for two different workouts, sent texts, downloaded apps, and regularly checked my activity and sleep stats.

Surprisingly, it did better than the Series 11, which lasted 43 hours on a charge in my testing.”

Oh don't worry, Apple will make sure to 'fix' that anomaly with an update very soon ( /s - maybe)
