From a full charge at about 10pm at night I’d wake up at 85-90% at 5am the next morning. Today from 100% I woke up with 40% at about 7am. Doesn’t last the whole day (no activity) it was fine with 17.1.1. Watch is on WatchOS 10.1.1
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 just got a new update that says this. Maybe try that?
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.
Do stop updating your device, that is my advice
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
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.
Just you.
Yes. I installed Beta iOS and it’s been working great now.
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
Yes, this is happening to mine.
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 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
hmm either a buggy firmware update or maybe Apple just wants you to get a series 9 or Ultra 2!
Same thing happened with mine. I thought I was just imagining things but I feel so validated now.
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.
