OSwatch 7.3.3 Update

Same problem here with my AW S5 : only half a day of use since the last update and with iOS 14.4.2 in my iPhone (SE 2020 and 8 plus) battery drains very quickly in few hours. Very bad updates with major battery issue, like 14.3.

ive been having battery issues for several months now. Last night at midnight my battery was at 98%, it’s now 7:30am and I’m at 47% and all I did was sleep.

I have tried everything suggested, I’ve turned every background app off, does not help a bit. I now have a $20 Walmart watch with a **** battery that I paid over $400 for... #applesworstproduct

Try the new watch OS 7.4 update. Mine (Apple watch series 4) had the same issue after updating to 7.3.3. Usually I had about 30-40% charge left on my watch when I returned home at about 10-11PM (while using the watch during the whole day). On the 7.3.3 update the watch took about 12 hours to charge and was completely drained after about 3-4 hours. The 7.4 update completely fixed it for me. Again, I have about 30-40% charge left on my watch in the evening.

Literally today I decided to ask my workout facebook group what Watch I should but because I am so

DONE with the Apple Watch battery drain and not syncing my workouts to my phone. I workout everyday and am in multiple Apple Watch fitness challenges. Can you imagine how it feels to lose challenges not because you didn’t work out hard but because of your watch sync issues? Can you imagine how frustrating it is to not have a workout record because the battery that was at 100% 4 hours ago went to zero during a run. I bought the Watch because of the fitness aspect and now I want to dump the **** thing. I’ve done all the things suggested. About 3 weeks ago Losing my workout streak so goodbye weekly, monthly yearly award for closing all my rings. The battery still terrible but fitness was working again. Well nope, I just realized that it stopped syncing sometime last week. Form comments this has been happening since November!!! It’s almost May. How much time are we supposed to

be patient!?!?? These watches are not inexpensive . Rant over.

Both my wife and I are having the same issue. The battery life has greatly been reduced. I also found a bug in the app. I turned on the Haptic Alerts and then set it to prominent. Ten seconds later it reverted back to default. I tried to get it to change several more times. I went into the settings on the watch itself and changed the setting, it then stayed. Anyone one else have this happen? I may try to reset the watch. Hope it works but I'm honestly not very confident it will.

Seriously, that is awful. I honestly believe Apple has totally messed up and loyal customers deserve some compensation or help. How can so many people complain and get no reaction? I now have not one but TWO watches that are completely useless.

I've got an update! I just found this. I was checking on the settings for my watch on my iPhone. In Display & Brightness I have a setting; Always On. It was turned on. So I checked my wife's phone. She does not have the setting. Her watches battery is better than mine. both phones are 12s. All devices are running the most current firmware. So why the difference, the missing setting? I think this is where at least part of the battery life drop off is. Also Apple needs to come up with an explanation as to why the missing setting. It would be nice to be notified of a change such as the Always On display being activated with an update when it shortens battery life. Save customers from unnecessary confusion and frustration. Also they need to address the issue of why one phone shows the setting and another of the same phone does not. I believe it has to do with what the watch generation is but I could be wrong.

This would be something to explore IF YOUR WATCHED WAS CHARGEABLE LOL.

At this point, I cannot get any sort of charge on either watch I own. I posted earlier with a photo....I get informed that my cable/usb is not correct (both the cable to the watch and the usb are Apple products!).

Thanks for searching into the matter.

For me, the watch also says "Too many passcode attempts". That showed up after I noticed two days of rapid drain. Not sure what that means, if a button is stuck somewhere, or something else is happening.

Low voltage can cause errors. That’s one possibility, another is it’s one of the bugs in the OS that is causing the battery drain. I’ve been lucky though. I reset my watches and repaired them. The Series 6 is definitely better. The Series 4 is improved but not what it was. Try it. Good luck. I hope it helps your problems!

The drain on my battery is amazingly crappy… I have a Series 4 and need to charge it 3 times a day… my wife has the same watch and gets 20+ hours out of a charge and has way more apps running on hers… I’ve ordered and SE, if the battery life still sucks I’ll guess I’m going back to a Timex 🤣

But we had our settings with cellular on and screen always on a week ago with battery lasting all day and then some. Having us turn features off is NOT the answer. I guess it will be the fix until Apple fixes the update that is KILLING our batteries.

I did umpair my watch and then re pair it and my watch is still draining quickly at night. And I’m not wearing it at night. I think mine is the 4. And this started about a month ago. I believe it is due to one of the updates. I didn’t have a problems before that. I have had my watch a couple years now. And it only seems to be at night that the battery drains quickly.

iphone 12 here apple watch SE since update my life has also greatly decreased itll die minutes after having 100% charge sometime it lasts a hour sometime 4 sometime 10 mins. I am sick of this. I just took it off the charge and it died while typing this Ive tried reset and the pair unpair attempts as well

I finally went to the Apple store with TWO apple watches..both entirely dead. Was told to buy a version 3 as it costs $199 and is what it would cost to have mine repaired. I will probably NEVER buy another Apple watch again. This is ridiculous...I first posted to this string MONTHS ago and see the complaints continue....who would have faith is this???
