My battery indicator stays at 100% and then will die without warning. Has anyone had this issue? It started doing this within 2 weeks of receiving the watch, the update (6.1) did fix it temporarily and then a couple of days ago, it started again.
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6
I sent my Series 5 into the repair center (well, my Apple Store sent it there) and it bounced back from them after a couple days, saying they couldn't replicate the problem. They were useless. It's like the Apple Watch falls into this gulch, as far as Apple support goes. It's the only thing they can't try to fix in the store, at their own Genius Bar. And they weren't that happy with the Apple repair center either. Before I read about the turn it off for 15 min and then back on again, I had literally tried every single thing except getting a new watch (which the store said I couldn't get, since Apple Care didn't cover a repair when they couldn't find the problem). But I've read about people here who got new ones and it didn't help the problem. I've restored from previous, from scratch, put it in the freezer (worked a couple days), taken it to the Genius Bar three times and talked to support in Cupertino (I pay $500 a year for Joint Venture Business Support) and the only consistent thing I ever got was that it was a software issue. No updates ever helped. My previous four Apple Watches, each of the series, didn't have this problem. But then I did the 15 min off and back on (I can't remember how much it was already charged when I did that. I think I did it when it had said 100% for 24 hours and I knew it would in the next 6 hours just randomly die. I haven't had any problems since then and that's been around 2-3 months ago that I did it. If anything, it uses up the battery a tiny bit faster than it used to.
I just upgraded to the new betas today (Jan 22). iOS13.3.1 and watchOS 6.1.2. I’ll update if this solves my AW4 issues or not.
I forgot to add that, so far, my watch has been working OK, though occasionally it stays up high a little longer than what would be expected....
Yes
30 min worked for me
maybe have to do it more than once
Which OS are you on?
I have a exactly the same problem too..
Surprised to see mine was only at 36% after power down.
With me, even with charging at night and in the am, even though it read 100% each time, some days just after one hour, in the morning, it would turn off and indicate the battery was used up.
Link refers to this threat....
What do you mean about "this threat" and the link?
My response was in Richard Spangler's post. He provided a link to a Youtube video, but the link refers to this thread (sorry, spelling error...)
I've tried the power-down, force restart, unpair/re-pair, and Find My Watch to no avail.
I've tried the power down multiple times but will try adding in the cool-place bit too expressly.
Remember regardless of what you get back it will have been off for a while so it will look good for a few days/charge cycles until it re calibrates at the warmer temps.
Thanks for your update Ktr1011, let me know how it goes after a couple of weeks since the most recent reset.
Unfortunately the problem is still present in the current OS.
Battery Indicator stuck at 100% All day
