Charging issues

**** Apple Watch version 6! I had to unpair and pair again after the last upgrade because it wouldn’t hold a charge. It worked but here I am again six weeks later, having to repeat the unpairing process….same charge problem with recent upgrade.

What’s up with this and why can’t Apple tech fix it?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9

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.
