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.
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!
What charger is everyone using? I was using third party which was working fine before update. Now using Apple OEM charger and it’s actually working now. Wonder if there is a coding error in new OS causing this problem.
Official charger, its been sitting on the charger all morning and only up to 21%. Ive tried multiple plugs, sockets and usb ports
I may pop to an apple store tomorrow.
Charging issues with watch after 8.3. Issue. Battery draining quickly and taking an age to recharge.
Watch just updated to watch OS 8.3 and battery will only last a couple of hours before it is drained?
