Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
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 had the same issue and had tried all of the usual suggested solutions. I then found a tip that I had not seen before and it worked for me (for a week now at least). I'll share it in hopes that it works for others as well.
Lo and behold, it worked! The battery went to 65% and ticked down in normal increments without shutting off. I have fully recharged every day since and it the battery continues to work normally. I can't explain why that worked, but I hope it works for others having the same problem.
The battery indicator problem is not a hardware problem; it’s in software. It seems to have been fixed for most users.
That might just be the issue resetting itself, as I had a similar situation when I first shut it off after going from 0-100% the second time I reset the software.
Yes using the original charger. It is not a hardware problem.
I am also using an original charger, and have no issues.
Mine problem seems to have self resolved after the 6.2.1 update a couple of weeks ago.
Given it gets stuck at 100. Does the watch randomly die as well? And when you put it on the charger it starts charging at some random %.
That might work but at this point are we just guesstimating if its at 100% or ... since its stuck at 100% all day.
Have you tried powering the watch down for at least 15 minutes to see if that resolves the issue at least temporarily?
Have you tried unpairing from your phone, shutting down, then repairing? That’s what fixed my watch which has worked fine since.
I tweeted the CEO of Apple @tim_cook about the issue and received a tweet back from Apple Support. I directed them to this Apple Support Community so hopefully they will check it out.
After continuing to experience the battery issues, my watch spontaneously, without any intervention from me at all, reset to factory and re-synced from my iPhone tonight.
Upgraded to watchOS 6.2.5 and the issue continues.
After well over a week of peace and quiet with 6.2.6, the issue has returned with a vengeance.
I regularly shut down my watch every few days and I still have this issue.
Same here. Only temporary fix is to turn the watch off for 20 to 30 minutes every day or two
Battery Indicator stuck at 100% All day
