Battery Draining After WatchOS 9.2 Update

I hard reset both iphone and Apple Watch, I had apple watch charging Fot half a day, I formatted Apple Watch, I changed time on iphone not to auto update, nothing worked, any other ideas?

Anybody having this battery issue only when using cellular data? I’ve narrowed it down to my battery draining when my watch is not in range of my phone. My battery seems to be fine on days I’m off work and connected to the phone. Since the update to 9.2, when I’m at work and my phone is not on me, my battery will go from 100% at 5:30 am down to 10% by 6 pm. My battery was GREAT before the update, like 50-60% at the end of the day. I have a battery friendly watch face and only have notifications for fitness and phone/messages. I have restarted/rebooted, unpaired and repaired my watch so many times, I’ve about given up. Also, when I went for a walk without my phone earlier today I checked to see what network my phone was on and it was LTE instead of the cellular button being green (I saw somewhere white meant it was connected to the phone and green meant it was using cellular data). Thoughts?

Another update. It is becoming clichie. I will be at 70% then in 30 minutes the 10% alarm goes off, that was two days ago. Fine now but with still shortened life. Check out your BoX2 level, just for fun.

Got the same advice from Apple in the US and I am on day two. Day one was a little bit inconclusive. It did last through the day, but when I plugged it in at the end of the day, the charging face was red. That never used to happen.

Didnt work for me. It discharges quickly. So irritating after watch updated to 9.3, it drains as fast it can. I cannot even use more than 3 hours anymore. And they want me to spend $384 for battery replacement watch series 4. Forcing me to upgrade even though I cannot afford it right now.

Does anyone know the difference between cellular and cellular data? I have googled so much to see what the difference is but all I get is the difference between cellular vs gps. I’ve had the 2 toggled on but toggled off data and idk if that will make a difference but I guess we’ll see tomorrow. I spent 1.5 hours chatting with apple support yesterday and no answers so I have an appt to get it looked at in person. So frustrating, as I’m passed the 14 day return window. But I wish I could return it. Pointless to have a watch you have to turn off 90% of the functions and STILL have it die within 12 hours of being off the charger.

Just to confirm that this also resolved my issue. Thanks for the simple fix!

This “fix” did not help. Watch power draining at an extremely fast rate.

In the picture you can see the battery life go off a cliff after the update.

What’s the expected battery life of the first generation watch? Mine won’t hold charge past five hours or so.

I updated my watch to 9.2. Battery started draining rapidly. I performed hard reboots on both iphone and watch but still issue persists. Any other suggestions?

Battery draining 1% every 3-4 minutes

Did not work for me. I also unpaired it later full charge @ 0800 now down to 65% after 5 hours. Used to be that after 12 hours.

Yeah, it was fine yesterday but today, back to the same sh*t.

So random! Now it’s working fine again and I didn’t do anything other than confirm that Background Refesh was off. I’ll stop posting now.

Me too. Series 8, one month old and after the 9.2 update, the battery drains within 4 hours.

Have tried full reset and repairing and turned off any extra apps like heart/O2.
