Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Since updating my series 6 watch to watch os8 the battery is dying quicker and quicker each day. Today it lasted 2 hrs before I got the 10% low battery warning!!! How can I fix this please? I’ve unpaired and re-paired to my iPhone 12 already.
If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:

FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)

Also, some people have found that simply waiting a few days after an update resolves the battery draining problem.

Thank you. I’ve just reinstalled it, and will see how it goes.
Thank you. Your suggestion worked perfectly. Battery is back to normal.
