Apple Watch battery drain after Update

Same here with Apple Watch Series 6. It can't last a full day. Yes, I have restarted the watch, the iPhone, etc.

I feel ya. Tried researching etc to restart, no difference i hope a fix happens soon

Doesn't matter what OS you check in the link. Just ensure you mention this is with WatchOS 9.5.1 in the body of what you write.

Your Watch needs repairing.

OS10 is out now

My ultra usually can last about 18 hours. Now only 8-10 hours and the batery dead. Any idea how to fix it?

My battery completely shot the 💩 I unpaired it and restarted which was a mistake because I took me another day to get it synced back up. I finally have it back up but the watch is basically a paper weight. It won’t charge or anything. HELP!!

I did the restart. Twice. Nothing. Apple- are you on it? We’re pretty sure you are. You wear the same watches and download the same software and I am sure you are as frustrated as we are.

peace and love!

0% lost over the night

Then during the day, I lost 74% after 8 hours of not active use

I will wait 1-2 months for some patch or maybe new watchOS, but if it doesn't help then I will visit some service. I live far from an official service centre

I’m using my old Apple 11, which drains very quickly, I figured it was part of built-in obsoleteness. Unlike our grandparents and before, where things were made here with pride and meant to last; now everything from appliances to automobiles to cellphones have a rather fast “replace by” date they never even put into the fine print. Causing an unnecessary amount of trash and a real financial burden on the majority of working class families.

I have to charge my iPhone at least twice a day… and my Apple Watch (series 3) every 6 hours for an hour or more to get a full battery again. I could go get new ones I suppose. But it’s part principle and part lack of money now that we’re having to pay medical bills for my cancer..

I'm sorry to see you have cancer and I'm sure the medical bills are astounding. That said, comparing your grandparents use of products to modern electronic devices is not a good analogy. Your grandparents didn't likely use devices with many batteries in them. And batteries are consumable parts. With every full cycle battery charge, batteries lose the ability to hold the same charge they did when new. This is NOT planned obsolescence, it's the normal aging of batteries and the older they get, the less charge they can hold. Your grandparents might have used flashlights with batteries in them? Do you think they made batteries back them, which never needed to be replaced? Of course they didn't. You're using devices which are getting old and the batteries in your devices simply can't hold the same charge as new. So yes, you either charge them more often, or you pay for battery service or your buy new devices. No one has yet to figure out how to make batteries last forever.

I suppose in one respect, we can say ALL electronics have planned obsolescence. The fact is technology continues to advance. And as technology advances, older devices eventually get to a point they can longer keep up. That's just not something which is going to change.

I’ve noticed since ios10 update that my Apple Watch series 5 shows 10% less than 12 hours after charge. Even when not using the watch, only for it to tell the time.

Surely there is a glitch with ios10?

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. 🪫 😢

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 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).
