Before the last update my battery would easily last all day and night. I’d even have enough to keep it going until the afternoon. Since updating last night to watchOS 10.1.1, the battery on my Series 8 has been awful. I’ve not used GPS or cellular and had my phone with me all day. Anyone else had this issue? I know I only charged it to 88% this morning but I can’t remember the last time I had to top it up in the evening before a workout.
For me it mega fixed it
My Apple Watch 6 battery had started draining a little faster than normal. I use it a lot all day long. I turned off Always On and it started lasting all day and into night again. Updated to 10.1.1 2 days ago in hopes I could use Always On again. Now my battery shows 100% at 8 am and dead at 11 am, 3 hours later! Can’t use it at all.
10.1.1 killed my battery and I also went beta 10.2 and still the same. Don’t even get 8 hours
JFC, I left with 96% @ 8.45am. By 12.20pm, I only had less 10%! No workouts done.
10.1.1 gave me the bug!
Can someone explain this? lol
Despite what Apple said, there’s no way WatchOS 10.1.1 has fixed battery drain. At least not for everyone.
My AWU2 was an absolute battery champ prior to updating to 10.1.1, but now? No way. Battery goes down 3-5% per hour without me even using it.
My biggest concern with this is the potential longer term degradation this can cause. Some people have stated WatchOS 10.2 beta has resolved this all together, but I’m super hesitant to put a beta on my watch.
After updating to 10.1 my watch drained extremely fast. After 2 days of that it stopped taking a charge. Apple charged me $99 plus tax for my battery issues.
I’ve been using macs since ‘88 and iPhones and watches since they came out and never had a problem this serious with them, and to say I’m disappointed with apples reaction is such an understatement that it’s just wrong. I’m angry. I loved having an Apple Watch but as the saying goes, “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” I’m seriously considering going back to nice mechanical watches.
Watch os10 ruined everything
