Read a lot of comments about battery drain after update 7.4. Mine didn’t happen then but is happening now and my latest update is 8.5.1. Battery drains down within a couple of hours. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas on a solution?

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:

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.
