4 hours in to my day, just sitting in front of my computer working, and I am at 47%. That is 13.25% per hour, or less than 8 hour battery life.
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??
Cellular.
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 was getting 6-10 hours under WatchOS 6.1.1. Since I purchased my S5 only 14 days earlier, the Apple Store replaced it with a a new one. I now get 17-20 hours under WatchOS 6.1.1.
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?
