I have an apple watch 5. After upgrading to watchOS 9, I am facing a serious battery drain, where a full recharge is not enough for 12h without workout and 1h with a workout? is that a OS issue? or my watchOS battery is not in a good shape? Before the upgrade I was recharging every 24h
Apple Watch Series 5
No, this is an issue with the new watchOS or the iOS 16, it's happening to me with the battery health at 84%.
Last week the watch was working normally (charging it every night with around 45% of battery) now I have to charge it twice per day, the battery flies.
Yes, I confirm, battery issue after few months.
Coveyite, glad that worked for you. Unpairing and re-pairing did not solve the problem for me and I believe some of the others on this thread. Waiting for a tech fix release to solve.
Aside from not enabling bluetooth connection, not agreeing with the iCloud T&C seems to also result in a battery drain as the watch constantly attempts to sign in to iCloud in the background.
I agree, I do not see any improvement in Battery life. 🫤 we all were amazed in the beginning at the Battery life. Now, meh……
FIX IT APPLE
I'm having the same problem. Worked fine before OS 9.3. Now I leave it in the charger while I'm sitting at my desk.
Are there any workarounds while we wait for the software patch?
I can’t believe Apple haven’t issued a statement or anything about this, really wish I found this thread before I updated mine.
My battery drain started with 9.3 download. I put the watch into Low Power Mode for a day. After that, battery performance back to normal. Don't know why that worked, but I'm not complaining.
I’ll give it a shot
How’s it working with wifi? I’m wondering if there are some apps that are draining the battery by (over)using cellular.
wow i bet this is the step most of us wouldn't consider... I'd rather keep the watch on battery saving mode all the time than resetting the phone from the beginning..
Yeah - the problem was that it was draining even in battery saving mode. Believe me, it was not something I wanted to do!
Yeah, my girlfriend has iwatch 6 and i have iwatch ultra and it happen the same!
usually iwatch ultra was lasting 2 days, now a night is draining almost half…
FINALLY I am now getting over two days of battery life with my ultra Apple Watch with the new 9.4 watchOS. It’s about time.
Apple does this ALL THE TIME
