Why is my watch battery draining so fast after updating to OS 8.3? It now goes completely dead after a couple hours.
Apple Watch Series 5
If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:
Battery Drain since watchos 7.4 - Apple Community
WatchOS 7.5 battery drain - Apple Community
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.
Yes be nice if they allowed you to go back one version for all of their stuff.
Bloody auto update.. Then you turn it off like people I know and never update
Once it's fixed (if it ever does) I uncheck that as fast as I can.
Well i were on 15.2 even before updating the AW so it has nothing to do with it.
you're just lucky.
it was exactly once I upgraded the watch
Same. Iphone has been updated and watched worked perfectly before 8.3. Battery drain so bad now, it wont last till noon. Apple please fix this soon! I rely on my watch so much!
Watch just updated to watch OS 8.3 and battery will only last a couple of hours before it is drained?
