Apple Watch Series 5 Battery Draining To Fast?

I am new to Apple Watch and just got the series 5 one (GPS + Cellular). I wasn't expecting that the battery would drain as fast as it is.



I'll start the day with 100% then by the afternoon I will be at about 52% battery power (similar to picture above). Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Hi CVGAnton,


Seems like good news so far. I had this same issue with cellular on the series 5. Never had it on the series 2 that was wifi-only. And when I would disable cellular on my series 5 the battery life was much better.


I installed the latest watch OS update of 6.1 and noticed the battery is no longer draining as quickly with cellular enabled, so thinking the latest update has solved the issue or at the very least has made significant progress.


Hopefully you find the same. Let us know!
