Just updated to latest watchOS last night on my series 6. Went to bed with 50% battery life. Woke up with 14%. Charged again to 50% and now in an hour watch is down to 47% and I haven’t used it for anything. This is not normal.
I don’t have cellular hooked up. And it’s always near my phone or good Wi-Fi signal. Something happened with this update. It was fine before the update.
Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8
I'm experiencing the complete opposite since 8.4.2 was released yesterday. I've had my watch on my wrist now over 2 hours and while I've not really done much on my watch, except read a couple text messages, I'm still at 100%. Prior to this newest update, I would have typically lost about 7%, which wasn't excessive to begin with, but I'm seeing better battery life thus far.
I would recommend unpairing the watch from your iPhone and setting it up again. That can often fix something which could have gone awry in an update.
Just did the update.... horrible!!! How the **** can you put an os like this??? From 18 hours battery now I've only 5 hours doing nothing!!! are you for real guys?????
xs max and watch 6
Me too! Very interested in the answer for this!
Is it still fixed ?
The watch still loses more power than before the update, but less since having turned both devices off.
Thanks. Been looking to see if any of this has gone away.
It hasn’t it seems just customers making the best of it with it still going on and given up.
Hi guys, does somebody have any new information regarding this problem? I have tryed realy evrything, but nothing worked so far...
thank you for your reply, I hope it will fix it self...
Same issue, started a week or so after 8.4.2. Series 7 with cell. iPhone 13 pro. Watch battery drains around 10% an hour. Erased and set up as a new watch...same issue
Similar with my series 3. Before this update the battery was lasting ~36 hours, now around 15.
Did Apple put a battery drain in?
I had his problem a couple days ago but solved it by unpairing and pairing the watch again and restoring a backup. Pain but this is the solution.
Unpairing/pairing and restoring the backup worked for me as well. I’ve never had this problem before so this was a first.
Disappointed, just installed the new update but the battery still drains!!!!!
You *MUST* unpair and pair again if you are getting poor performance
