Apple Watch battery drain after Update
I noticed my Apple Watch battery draining very quickly after updating it to 9.5.1. Anyone else? My battery usually lasts 2 days.

No problem …..
i noticed that the compass was always on today and there is a feature that tracks your steps and allows you to backtrack your steps. I’m wondering if that was responsible for the battery drain.
I was right…
I had that on before the update to 10. So the battery drain seems to be something else. I fixed the update before by powering off my phone. And turning it back on. Then powering off the watch and leaving the watch off for 24 hours.
This is from pascal_sartoretti hopefully its help. Coz it works for me
I have had the same problem a few months ago (after a watchOS update), and again last week when upgrading to watchOS 10. In both cases, I solved it like this (see also my previous posts much above) :
It works, but it is a hassle : I lost the watch configuration each time and had to do it again by hand.
It is obviously a software problem, it affects many people and has lasted for a few months at least.
Yes my is Series 8 and by 6 :00 pm is in 5% 🪫. My son had Series 7 and us working fine. I am so frustrated, because I don’t use my watch more than 12 hrs and for 2 days in a row I don’t have battery. 🪫 😢
What I did is follow pascal_sartoretti suggestion hopefully its help. Coz it works for me

My watch is not staying charged after the latest update. I have tried everything including the power on/off and turning off as many accessories as possible. I love my watch and it is less than 6 months old! Apple please do something!!!!!
I have found the battery isn’t draining as fast when I turned off the always on feature, which is used if you continuously want the watch to display the time even when your not looking at it.
To turn this feature off which is a default feature go to settings > Display & Brightness then scroll down to Always On and move the slider toggle to off.
Thanks so much! I’ll try this
i have an older watch (3) and it works just fine but since watch OS 10.0.1, the. Artery drains quickly through the day. I’m not doing anything different but what used to be 50-60% battery left in the evening, now it 20% by dinner. Any ideas on what I can do. Or is it time to upgrade to the 9 (I really can’t afford to do that just now).
Not entirely sure if my problem is related. I suddenly had a massive drain issue. I have a Series 4 and it's almost 5 years old. I noticed the usual drop in battery life but now it's dropping about 20% per hour. I go to the gym for 1.5 hours and it used 40%+. I tried setting it to low power mode today and it still only lasted 10 hours.
The thing is, I didn't update the phone to the new update, iOS 10, until I was having this problem a couple of days ago. I've tried the unpair and re-pair and restarting the watch and phone with no success. Battery health is 74% which I understand is bad, but as I said I struggled to finish a day but suddenly as of a few days ago it won't even last half a day.
Yes won’t even last a day. Went from lasting 2-3 days to 12 hours over night. Nice update apple.
Battery should be changed by Apple at 79%
