Battery drain since 8.4.1

Apple Watch SE with cellular. Since the update on Saturday, I have constant batter drain, going 100% to dead in less than 4 hours. Sometimes it wont charge all the way, but a hard reset fixes that.


i have unpaired a few times, restored it from backup. When that didn’t work I set it up as a new watch. I only use Apple chargers.


it’s really frustrating. Any ideas?

What's up with Apple support. They never commented on this issue. But, version 8.4.2 comes out that says it is minor bug and security fixes. And, now my SE is keeping its charge all day. I've only drained 20% in 6 hours. My watch would have been dead 2 hours ago. Well, anyway... 8.4.2 fixed this for me.

While I was not experiencing unusual battery drain in my Series 7, I have noticed significant improvement in my watch on 8.4.2. My watch has been on my wrist since about 7:30 this morning and it's now 3 PM and the battery percentage remaining is 90%. I haven't been doing anything heavy on the watch today, other than some notifications and some text messages. But still, this is a significant bump, which is terrific.
