Apple

Same. I was starting to wear it overnight to track sleep stats, but then it won't last through the morning.

i think i have the 7 (its been like two years, i dont remember anymore lol) and ive noticed that my watch just won’t charge past 75% most days? Like I know I have the adaptive charging on but it’s usually charged by my first alarm. I lowkey hate the new update because of it lol

Yep same. Battery already at 55% on my ultra 2 after a single day. Previously it used to stay up around 85-95%. I was not having this bug on previous watchOS after updating to 10.1.1 it went downhill for me.

No problem here

Just you.

After the complete fuckup of WatchOS 10 I turned off updates. It was the last device I trusted updates for.

Don't you mean watchOS 10.1.1 ? Which is the latest iteration of the OS on the watch.

Same I’m charging it twice a day . I have a series 8

I have the same problem. And after ios update my phone doens’t unlock my watch

Do stop updating your device, that is my advice

Every single update people are surprised again by battery drain. Every. Single. Update

Strange. I'm getting around 36% the second day after 24hrs. I also didn't get a watchOS update. I'm currently at 10.1.1, Only my iPhone got the 17.1.2

After watchOS 10 I turned off auto updates.

My AW4 was draining like crazy after latest iOS update. I did a restart and it’s back to normal. Do know why…but, it worked. Good luck

I had this exact problem and no matter what I disabled, it would drain in 4-6 hours.
I did a complete factory reset and that's fixed the problem.

Its 73% after being worn for about 10 hours including a workout. I think I'm repping a series six

So glad i left my watch on iOS 9..

Power cycle (turning it off and on again) has fixed it for me. My Ultra didn't last a day but is now back to great battery life.

Same thing happened with mine. I thought I was just imagining things but I feel so validated now.

Yes. I installed Beta iOS and it’s been working great now.

Prior to WOS10 my AWU would last 5-6 days (lots of background running apps disabled, WiFi and cell off unless needed, AOD off, no info watch face, many other settings adjusted to achieve this). Since 10 update best usage is 3.5 days but often shorter. All setting remain the same but it just doesn’t last like before. Battery health is 99% charge watch and phone on Apple brand dual usb 35w charger with both their brand of braided cables. I get why my 12 pro battery only last a day at best and that leading me to eye that 15pro. Shouldn’t be the case with my AWU1 to the AWU2.

hmm either a buggy firmware update or maybe Apple just wants you to get a series 9 or Ultra 2!

I have the ultra- had to disable AOD - now it’s back to lasting a couple days between charges. It’s really annoying having the screen turned off - but it was more annoying burning thru the battery life daily

I just got a new update that says this. Maybe try that?

Took it off the charger and went to work last night and it was dead about 4 hours later. My battery capacity is 90% and usually lasts a full day, I’ve never had battery drain this bad before.

Series 5 watchOS 10.1.1

Power cycle your watch off for 5 minutes. That fixed my issue

Absolutely. My old phone was running iOS16 and when I bought a new phone last week with iOS17 the battery drain began exactly when I switched pairing to it.

I really hate this because now I have to charge the watch multiple times a day and there's nothing to even indicate in the iWatch OS what primarily is draining the battery.

Currently updated latest everything (release, not beta) to no change still.

Edit: I should also add my watch wasn't running iOS10 when the battery drain began, I was still on 9. I only updated in an attempt to see if it would fix it

Ugh, I updated to 17.2.1 yesterday and noticed at end of day my Series 8 was at 19%. Normally it’s more like 50%. I thought it was a fluke until I found this thread.

I’ve been rejecting the latest update for the past few weeks. Every time I think maybe I’ll update, someone posts about battery drain with a later version. This is ridiculous.

Yes, this is happening to mine.

Yep. Really pissed.
