watchOS 7.4.1 batteries draining fast

Hi MoralesCanada,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We understand that battery life for your Apple Watch is less than expected, so we'd like to share some resources with you. Start by checking the condition of your battery in Settings > Battery > Battery Health on your Apple Watch.

If all is well, restart your Apple Watch and the paired iPhone, then monitor your watch to see if you notice an improvement.

How to restart your Apple Watch

Restart your iPhone

If there's no change, make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

This is a big problem. My 6SE doesn’t even last 12 hours now. I don’t have the face mask function enabled. I haven’t changed a single setting. Not one!

@Apple - Is anyone even listening to your customers?

FIX THIS ASAP!!

Same for me. Definitely getting significantly worse battery life with 7.4.1. Hopefully 7.5 fixes it. 7.4 was good for me so I don’t know what changed

This did not solve my problem

Well maybe we’ll see watch OS 7.5 next week and that will help battery life.

Can you please share what you turned off? The "Unlock with iPhone" under Passcodes? or something different?

This is a problem with my Series 3 watch as well.
