Q: Apple watch battery dying


So I've had my watch for less than an year (more like 6 months) and now when I charge it overnight, the battery is dead and the watch dies by 10:30 the next day.

 

This can't be right...anyone else having this?

Apple Watch, iOS 9.3.2

    Hi

     

    The following steps have helped to resolve issues with battery life for some users:

     

    • Restart both your iPhone and watch:
      • Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first;
      • To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off;
      • To turn it back on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

    The following steps may also help:

     

     

    • If you have used any third-party fitness tracking apps (such as Strava) to record workouts, check whether there is presently a paused activity within any of those apps.
      • If there is, end the activity from within that app on your watch (not on your iPhone).

     

    • For the best performance from your watch, keep both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permanently enabled on your iPhone.

     

    • Under earlier versions of iOS and watchOS, some users reported experiencing battery life issues in connection with using corporate profiles and/or Exchange Calendars. If you are using an Exchange Calendar, one or more of these steps may help:
      • Archive your Exchange Calendar for all items before today.
      • Remove / delete all old inbox messages relating to calendar invites (accept and decline notifications).
      • Create a rule in your Outlook Mail account that moves all future accept and decline replies - immediately upon receipt - into a separate mail folder that does not sync with your iPhone and Apple Watch.
      • Check your Exchange Calendar for errors.

     

    • Remove all third-party apps from your watch and then monitor battery performance after adding them back, one by one.
      • The same applies in respect of watch face complications.

    If the issue persists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having your watch checked under warranty:
