Battery Draining After WatchOS 9.3 Update

Anch’io sto lamentando consumi anomali della batteria del mio Apple Watch 4 dopo l’aggiornamento OS 9.3. Ho fatto il Reset (inizializzazione) e eliminato alcune notifiche, ma il problema persiste e l’orologio si scarica dopo 8 ore. Spero che Apple risolva questo problema.

I am having a cycling issue. It charges for a few minutes then stops then starts again. I have done a hard reset, unpaired and set up as new and tried 3 different chargers. This only started happening after the iOS 9.3 update on the SE watch. I just finished the new set up and it's on the charger. It was cycling but now it seems to be steady charging. I will update if that situation changes. It seems that Apple is aware of the issue but why haven't they patched it yet? I wish there was a way to roll back updates.

EDIT: Just as I finished typing this it started cycling again; charging/not charging

EDIT2: Now it's continually charging this is so weird.

Incredibile poco dopo aver effettuato l’update il mio Apple Watch serie 6 ha avuto un crollo improvviso della batteria. Ricaricato un altra volta, utilizzato poco e a mezza mattinata avevo già l’orologio scarico. Incredibile! Ma perché tutte le volte qualcosa va storto? Che sta succedendo alla vecchia e cara Apple super affidabile e super competitiva? Suvvia dai risolviamo in qualche giorno e non tra qualche settimana per favore. Grazie!

Watch 9.3.1 didn't solve my battery problems, but it didn't improve them either.

Used to be about 24 hours of battery life with 9.2, after the 9.3 update the battery status suddenly dropped from 100% to 98%.

Fully charged the watch at 07:00 am yesterday, empty battery at 07:30 am this morning.

Now I need to recharge twice a day to get through the night.

Read many solutions here, none of which really helped and only limit the watch in it's possibilities, I guess I'll have to wait patiently for the next major update to fix my/all issues.

My battery only lasts 6 house since I updated my watch. Beyond ridiculous. Especially since it's clear these comments are from weeks ago. So why did Apple prompt me to update my watch last week? They must have known there were issues. Really disgusting. I've tried all the fixes recommended here and none of them work.

Do I have to waste my time going to the Genius Bar? Do I have to buy a new watch?

Seriously Apple, vile, vile behaviour on your part.

Problem started after 9.3 and 9.3.1 has not fixed the issue.

My Ultra used to last two days with swimming and running. I updated from 9.2 to 9.3 and the following morning it was fully charged to 100% at 9am. I went for an ocean swim at 3pm and it died after 5minutes of swimming. So only lasted 6 hours from 100% to dead. I’ve tried all kinds of solutions recommend but nothing has worked as it initially seems better and then reverts back to the battery drain

I don’t want to erase my phone and ho through all of that just because Apple released a faulty update. This is not customer service.

Why would you need to erase your phone? Just unpair your watch and re-pair it.

With update 9.4 it improved a little bit, but is still nowhere close to 9.2. When I do not drive, I make it through the day now (which is worse than my previous Series 3 watch). When I drive, it drains quickly and I may hit 10 % in the late afternoon.

In the meantime my warranty expired as well. Now I am stuck with this bullshit OS update and hope that something better will come along.

I was so happy with my Series 7 up to 9.2. Would love to go back and stay there forever. 9.3 and 9.4 are crap.

I really don’t want to reset my watch and pair it again. It’s always the first solution and it’s a real pain. Apple needs to sen out the fix. They shouldn’t send out updates without throughly testing across all the watch versions.

Apple has had 2 years to fix this and yet they do nothing. It is a major pain to unpair, erase and reinstall the Apple Watch after these absurd updates which do nothing anyway. Who on earth is running this division and why have they not been fired?

A lot of people try to offer a solution here, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

But even if a solution works somehowe, which was in my case a complete 'painful' reset of both devices (watch and phone). I'm afraid you'll never get back what the software 9.2 gave us. Then I had a working time of 48 hours on my watch 7 and still didn't really have to worry.

That is beyond remarkable on a device, which is rated at 18 hours. Even Apple Watch Ultra, which as the longest lasting battery in any Apple Watch is rated to 36 hours.

So what are you saying? Because you did not have the problem and "none of the volunteers" have a problem, this is not an Apple problem? We are not making this up.

No one is denying you have a problem. But, it is highly unlikely that the cause of that problem is a recent update.

So this problem started when my watch was updated. Happened that very day. But it was caused by something else? What a lightening strike or voodoo? That sounds like apple support. Everyone on this discussion would love to hear your thoughts and plan for fixing the problem.

My battery used to last from the time I got up 4:30 am until I go to bed at 9 pm. At this point I can’t get my stand rings closed before my battery dies. This is terrible. I know Apple would like me to go spend hundreds on a new watch, but do they not realize the times we are in? The administration that has choked us dry of money? Can’t afford food anymore, how will I afford a watch? I was so happy to get this one a few years ago. Now I might as well throw it in the garbage.
