Apple Watch 5 battery life

Is it just me or has the battery life of an Apple Watch series 5 gone down since the last software update.


If I go to bed when it’s at 100% sometimes when I get up it’s at 75%. Is it just me?

To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:

Apple Watch - Battery - Apple

Apple Watch Battery and Performance - Apple Support


“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:
