Does anyone else have this problem? I had an AW4 before with 10.0.1 on it (battery health about 65%) and I could still go a full day with it. Just got a AW5 secondhand with 83% battery health that I now updated to 10.1.1. The first half an hour it maybe drained like 5% or so. Then I didn’t use it (everything like background app refresh, always on display etc is turned off also). Checked on it after about an hour or so and it had drained from 96% down to 76% without me using it. Used it for like 5 mins and it came down to 74%. Restarted it and it was down to 72% while being off? Wtf is happening with this update? Didn’t have this issue with the 10.0.1 update at all. Anyone who can relate?

The watch is working behind the scenes. Normal. Just wait it out.

Thanks! Hopefully it corrects itself!

Agreed. My watch initially drained after updating, but a few days later it's not anymore.

i mean it’s a series 4 watch running a watch OS built around series 9 hardware… so to me excessive battery drain wouldn’t be surprising reallt

I have the same issue with an AW4. On WatchOS 9 I could go the whole day without turning on Battery Saving. Now with it on, I can do 9 hours top.
