Ever since the 8.4 update my watch battery only lasts a few hours. Any tips on correcting this?
Apple Watch, watchOS 4
I had the exact same problem. My iWatch went from 2+ days of charge to (after the update) using up 90% charge by 2pm same day. I tried all the power cycling, and bluetooth manipulation that SAL-9000 suggested, but that did not work for me. What worked was resetting the watch, but keeping my phone account on there (it's an option when resetting). After resetting, I paired it again with my phone but did NOT include all the apps. Instead, I selected the option to install apps manually, and that was it. There was an app that was draining my iWatch's battery. I'm not sure which one, but I've been wearing my watch for 3 hours today and it's still at 96% charge. A little math tells me that 4% charge spent for every 3 hours means it will use 32% per day, which puts me back in the 2+ day range again. But the next update for the watch is coming tonight, so I guess we'll see what happens.
I’ve been having the same problems since 8.4.2 update two days ago. Battery dies after 13 hours of simply wearing the device, not even used for tracking.
It worked for me, thanks a lot.
Worked for me too.
What Apple Watch series did you use how much gift card value did they give for the trade?
I tried Michaels69’s suggestion, sadly no joy. With no apps installed, dropped 3% in 15 minutes. ☹️
Same!!! Literally the next day after I did the update my battery now cannot make it through the day. It worked perfectly fine before the update. So annoying!
Same problem here: battery drop out in 8 hours (using or not the device). Battery health 86%. Watch series 6 44mm celular WatchOS 8.7. Iphone XS Max. Tried a lot of things with no results. :(
