Terrible battery usage on Series 5 watch.

Hello. I’ve had my series 5 watch since the day they were released. I previously had a series 3 and most days I easily got through the day with only the one overnight charge. This new watch barely gets 14 hours usage, which just isn’t enough.

Is anyone else having this trouble and found a solution?

Battery length I notice my battery doesn't stay charged as long as my other previous watches did. I usually run out of battery charge by bedtime. I don't have a lot of added apps on it, so I'm not sure why it is running out of the charge so fast. Anyone experiencing this with the Series 5 watch?

Apple Watch Series 7 battery life Hello all. I received my new watch 7 45mm last week. The watch is absolutely beautiful, but my battery life has been horrible. It's dropping at an average rate of 10% per hour. I've tried the unsync/resync/reinstall several times and nothing seems to help. I'm coming from a Watch series 3 that always lasted me over a day. Anyone else having these issues or know a way to solve them. BTW, I also turned off "Raise wrist" and some of the other techniques Google suggested. Thanks!

Series 4 iwatch Battery Drain Hello... I have a series 4 watch and the battery was lasting more than 24 hours. Battery health is 89%. Last week suddenly it will not last 12 hours. There were some updates last week, that is the only thing that has changed. I unpaired and even rest my watch, no change. My wife is wanting a series 7 for her birthday, may not be a good investment. Anyone else experiencing a similar issue and have you found a solution.

Reset your Watch by pressing in the crown and side button until you see the Apple logo, then release both.
