Apple Watch series 5 battery life

Yep, thanks. I guess I need to keep my left hand in my pocket if I want the watch battery to last all day. :)

Yes it does, it monitors activity. So unless you are not moving or breathing as it does heart rate unless you have switched it off.

So what you are saying is that my usage and standby time will always be the same as long as I wear the watch and am alive? Then it is pointless.

Oh I did more than that. Four days ago I wiped my watch, my phone and my ipad. I set them all up as new devices - not restoring anything. Same issues.

Just got a new watch - same issues. Definitely not hardware. I will wait 12 days and hope for a software fix.

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

i have a hunch that its an icloud sync thing.

But what is it syncing? I disabled the background refresh for calendars, as I my thought was it has something to do with non-working Calendar complication. But consumption is the same...

My wifes 40mm celluar has never had a battery issue. Mine did at first but I went to bed at 46% last night. On my wrist for 14 hours and 2 hours of workouts.

I wonder is Watch 6.1 update fixes this? I would love to hear from anyone on this thread on what they are seeing. If I read positive results, I may jump back in and buy again to see.

Just applied it. 45 minutes later (after a full charge) and my watch is at 96%. Does not look good. iOS 13.2 and watchOS 6.1.

watchOS 6.1 is out of beta.

Not yet for me according to my Apple Watch Software Update. Just ran it to check.
