watchOS 7 Battery Drain

Since this whole battery thing started, 12 to 14 hours is the best that I can get after following every suggestion.

see my other post

I called Apple - after going through "fixes" with them (that I had already done on my own), they are taking my watch to repair or replace.

I went through all of that and they sent me a replacement Series 6: still having the same problem. I am thinking it is a WatchOS 7 issue.

the same for me, charge was enough for one day late night, now it is 5pm and is already discharged, i discover this problem after last upgrade

How can I remove all photos from my apple 3 watch? Battery is draining way faster than normal.

Thank you Kris_apple. I also found that turning off background app refresh helped enormously when someone else mentioned it. I will also try you other suggestions. Thank you so much.

i agree, i found that the APP maps, completely discharge the battery in a short while

Getting less than 10 hours after the last update on AW4. Tried all the suggested fixes without luck. It’s just a glorified bracelet now.

Finally decided to get rid and get something else.

SOLVED: I uninstalled all non-apple applications and they issue dissapeared, are now re-installing them one by one to see when thee battery drain reappear.

I reported earlier that my new replacement AW5 had the same problem as the old one. Since upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 and iOS 14.3 the problem has not recurred on 5 workouts to date.

I don't know how but my AW 4 is working properly now.

My AW4 went 7 hours today. That’s the worst ever and I’ve got everything possible turned off.

I had this battery drain issue yesterday. It may have been after a firmware update. Anyway, I found the suggestion of unpairing and pairing again solved the problem. Thanks.

Me too

The battery drains very, very quickly since I updated my watchos to version 7.2. In 4 hours the whole battery runs out, I have an Apple Watch 5
