Apple Watch series 5 battery life
Is anyone having battery issues with their S5 Watch?
Apple Watch
Battery life of 10 hours.
Question marked as
So I just upgraded from a series 2 to a series 5. Yesterday was my first full day and about a hour and a half in I was shocked to see the battery at 84%. Today I turned off the noise measurement & after 6 hours, a trip to the gym it’s at 83%. Seems clear what feature is eating the battery.

I am constrained by Apple from commenting further. I inadvertently got into trouble commenting further a few weeks ago; don't want to do it again.
I’d like to think an update is on the way to fix the issue. My S4 would get the 24-30 hours you mention. I’m on my 4th S5, each one as bad as the next. I gave up trading, and kept the 4th watch.
I check multiple times per day for an update, disappointed each time. I was hopeful 6.1 was the answer... NOPE!!
My S5 is much better lately. When I go to bed at about 15 hours usage I now have about 25 - 30% battery left so I'm pretty happy with that.
Sigh, mine made it not even 6 hours....
Yep, I am about tired of this, I think Apple really screwed up on the series 5 and I wish they would respond!!
So far after the update on my first charge I’m at 28 hours with 8% battery left so it’s looking promising for me.
It seems to me that Apple should focus on software issues rather than you!
Cellular or GPS??
Best battery life I’ve had on my S5 today, 13 hours, no workout. I’m at 43%, every other day I’m at 10-20% this time of day. I’d say if this continues I’ll get just over 20 hours per day.
Six hours yesterday, on my S5's first full day with WatchOS 6.1.1. Eight hours today.
I am on my third series 5 watch and for me, only the above steps fixed it. Think there are a lot of different issues going on here.
PWNELL: What exactly did you do?
