Is anyone having battery issues with their S5 Watch?
Apple Watch
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 still believe there is something that is causing my TPH process to increase CPU demand over several days and I believe this is something to do with my Apple ID - I bet I end up needing to scrape my id and create a new one which has all sorts of ramifications fo me.
good luck
Mine lasts nowhere near as long as my S4.
I’d say about half the battery life? Bit disappointed if I’m honest.
I’m returning mine. Doesn’t make through the day.
That’s the exact numbers I was getting on my S5, my S1,S3, and S4 were 40-60% at the end of my day.
Issues with my series 5 cellular, I've tried all suggestions to no avail. Battery lasts about 8 hours with little usage, nowhere near what I was getting with my series 2. I’ll likely return.
It’s on by default.
It 14 days for a replacement or refund at Apple not 30 days
I don't believe noise monitoring is the issue because I never turned mine on.
Both are turned off on mine and the battery drains
I already have that off
Hey Michael, did you test your battery life with your screen Always on? Very interested to hear your results.
No worries, great info! I’m about the same, 40-50% difference to S4. This article from imore is certainly different to our experience. https://www.imore.com/apple-watch-series-5-battery-test
I don’t think that article is off base, I have noticed my battery drains way less during a workout??
I had mine replaced and it’s exactly the same sadly.
