Since updating to 6.2.5 battery life is awful on a 6 month old watch. Never had an issue prior and no change in use of it.

Thanks for following up, thecove,

Your most recent reply indicates you're still having some trouble with the battery life on your Apple Watch. I'd suggest reaching out to Apple Support directly for more help determining what's going on, and how to fix it. You can do that here: Contact Apple Support.

Best!

My opinion is that it is very likely related to the OS version. This update must have been rushed to release without proper testing.

The next one 6.2.6 didn't show improvements for me.

In may case the barometer stopped working. Now I have 0 flights of stairs every day. Before the update 10 would be an average number.

I called support and this is a known issue. Their response was that I just have to wait until a new revision is released.

I'm not very happy with the situation, as you might guess.

I am having the same issue. Since the 6.2.5 update my Apple Watch 4 wont hold a charge for more than 24 hours. Really, it’s dead after 18-20 hours. Very frustrating!

I am experiencing the exact same behavior. All of the suggestions by ryane77 didn't help at all.

Yes. It is the worst. I have never had a problem with my watch until after this update.

The battery life is 2-3 hours max

Same! 6.2.6 didn’t show any improvements for me either. My weather widget isn’t accurate anymore now. It is stuck in the same weather data.

6.2.5 brought much better battery life than previous version. 6.2.6 unfortunately undid that.
