Battery problem after update

Hi, I’m going crazy! This is my third Apple Watch and I’ve had to changes all three of them due to worsened battery time.

My friend ha the exact same watch, same size and by the afternoon I have 10% and he 67% He has everything on and I have all putsch notifications off, app in background off, always on off- everything is off!

I’m sorry but this is driving me crazy, I’m not touching my watch other that when I’m going to work out, but I have to charge the watch first. It’s worsened after latest update. I have unpaired, re-installd. New watch installations like 5 times but I’m stuck with the problem. My watch is just over a year old! This can’t be happening after a update? I need help!

Beginning to wonder if the problem is in my phone? Three watches that only lasted barley a year? I’ve never herd of anyone having so much trouble with their watch.

Took it off the charger, 100% now, 15 minutes later it’s 95%

please help :(

To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:

Apple Watch - Battery - Apple

Apple Watch Battery and Performance - Apple Support

“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:

Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple

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.)

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

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