Apple Watch 6 battery draining in Watch OS 7.6.2

The same. After 7.6.1 the battery of my watch (6) lasts 12 hours (before update it lasted 30). 12 hours do not work for me (I need the watch to check my heart). I unpaired and erased the watch and it didn’t work. I am waiting Apple to fix it or I will demand to return my money.

I'm really going crazy, before the update I used to charge my apple watch once every 3 days, now I have to charge it twice a day and this is a disaster, I do not know if this is Apple's policy or what, please help tnx.

I have the same issue it past several days and now it is improved a little in the beginning it drained from 100% to 0 in 5 hours!! And now it last 10h it is still low before that my watch last 24h it’s Apple Watch 5 lte version I did full restart without unpaired it and still nothing I will update if it will improve more then 10h

Same issue with decreased battery life after the recent update(s). 2 Watches, one from each of the last 2 generations (both Titanium), alternated as needed when battery is low, are now lasting 50-60% as long as before. I used to be able to go a full day and then some (30-40 hours). Now, not so much -- changing units each day.

I have the same issue since updating watch to newest update....I have a series 4 gps model only and Iphone 12 Max both are on the newest update AW 7.6.1 and Ip 14.7.1 and since the AW update the watch last about 8hrs when it use to last 18-24hrs and would include a workout this is dead in 8hrs or less without any excess usage....ridiculous that it has been almost a month and Apple has yet to even address there is an issue.

I have also waited 4 days, and did all other supposed fixes several time even completely erasing and starting as a new watch nothing works.....I am a dedicated Apple user but I am so over this that I may be trading in this junk for Samsung if Apple doesn't get on the ball and fix this like yesterday.

I'm using Apple for almost all my life now, but this is the first time that Apple is really disappointing me. Since the last Watch OS update, my Apple Watch Series 5 became pretty useless now, since it will not last for even 12 hours.. Every hour that I'm checking my battery status, I lost another 10 percent.. It's frustrating to see that Apple is only recommending the Unpair > Erase > Restore method as a reply on this thread, but believe me: I really tried everything to solve this problem! I already unpaired, erased, etc. for 2 times but.. without any improvement! Please Apple, take this problem serious (as seen in this thread there are a lot of loyal customers who are experiencing the same problem..) and let us know how this problem will be solved! Our watches are worth nothing at this moment!

Nope it’s complete silence from APPLE it’s absolutely ridiculous as there should have been a fixed released by now but they aren’t even acknowledging there’s even an issue much less a major one like rendering people’s AW’s useless when they were fine prior to latest software update

Hey everyone I also having with my series 6 ! Tried everything on this thread nothing helps! Apple should not release updates that does the same thing every time. I love my Apple Watch but really thinking of moving to a Garmin!

Same here. Watch Series 5, 44mm. Running 7.6.1 and watch is entirely useless. Drains from 100% to 0% in just a few hours without doing anything on it. Also not sending notifications. Watch is basically unusable. Really disappointing. Have unpaired and repaired twice as well.

yes I confirm that I saw a very little improvement from the beginning, now also for me 13/14 hours, from the morning 7am I arrive at dinner, but of course it is not the same like before when I arrive at the end of the day with 40% remaining.......

I am having this problem as well. I used to wear my watch to track sleep but now if I want it to make it through the day I leave it charging all night. It’s pretty bad. I have a 6 operating 7.6.1. My mom has a 3 with the same ios and she can’t even wear hers anymore. Puts it on fully charged at 8 and it’s at 0% by noon. Time for you to fix this Apple. Your products are too expensive for you to let this go on.

My Apple Watch series 3 battery has been draining. It will be 100% and in about 4- 4 1/2 hours it will go down rapidly to 33% and then 10%. I have had this issues for months now. I’ve taken in to Apple, Best Buy and did all the troubleshooting as they advised( unpairing, factory reset, you name it) and still the same issue. I’ve had this watch for only over a year and use it just to read text messages from my children and nothing crazy on the watch.

i don’t understand with all the updates, it seems nothing is being done to fix it. I am sure I’m not the only one with this issue.

i want to add they also did a diagnostic on my battery and life span was 100%. Please Apple the products you sell to us consumers aren’t cheap, can you all please look into this and make us Apple supporters happy for once.

I’m going to test this “update” out and see what it does. I wondering if it will do something to my cellular series 3 watch as that one worked just fine and didn’t experience this battery drain but the non cellular one was the one that was getting killed in battery life and I basically went on both watches and turned on and off the same features just to see if that would make things better and again the LTE watch worked fine while the GPS only watch battery was draining like crazy.

after my appointment on the apple store, nothing happened! My watch is out of warranty ( 2 years and five months).

The battery is ok, it does not have software problem but it is not clear why the life is only ten hours!!! this is the reply of the apple store about my problem!!! that's incredible!!!!!
