Anyone else have an Ultra 9.3 update in the last 36 hours that is bleeding your battery? I was averaging 3-4 days between charges as I do not use GPS much and don’t have cellular activated. But it just died before I made it to 24 HOURS from full charge.
Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 9
For the full procedure see below
If it still discharges after all Watch resets it suggests it could be an incompatibility in the software in the Watch and the iPhone with the latest OS releases. What I would do is
-Unpair and erase the Watch
-Backup the iphone
-Restore iphone to factory settings
-Set up the iphone as new without restoring the backup. Install only your essential email accounts, no extra software, no social media
-Pair the Watch to the iphone
-Run them both like that for 24 hours and see how long the battery lasts.
Only when that test is over can you repeat the first three actions then set up the phone but restoring the backup this time.
If the Watch lasts longer the first time than the second time then it proved it is software on the iPhone causing it. In that case you would have to export as much data as possible such as n-sync’d photos and documents out of the phone to a place of safety such as iCloud before repeating the restore and set up as new process.

Didn't help. My battery is giving 50% less duration since the update. Don't know what to do.

It does but it seems to only affect some units. There also doesn’t seem to be one clear solution.
My Apple Ultra is at 20% after about 9 or 10 hours of use. I even have the wake movement turned off and not other activities.
Same issue. Tried the reset. Nope. I just fully charged the watch and in one hour its down to 84%.
This was not the case before updating the OS.
My experience is exactly as you described JustinRealEstate
I disagree. But then again that's just me. Thanks for your help...
ok
did that already. Nothing wrong
I'm out of suggestions. Sorry. Battery life on my Ultra, with cellular and Optimized Battery Level turned on is excellent. I'm sorry its not for you.
Downloading it now. We’ll see
Fingers crossed for you.
Try this one ! Get back to you tomorrow, hope it works work . Didn’t know how to force restart. Thanks
You're welcome.
