My series 5 watch increasingly dies whilst running or doing a workout. It’ll be 100% charged and then 4 miles into a run it will tell me it has 10% battery left and shuts down. Same happens if I’m working out.
Then when I put it on the charger it often jumps up to about 70% battery in a matter of minutes.
Software is up to date.
Any ideas?

Hiya,
Thanks for this. My phone (iPhone Pro) did need an update, so I’ve done that.
Also switched both devices on and off again.
Let’s see how it goes on my run on the morning!
Thanks
