Same with a Watch Series 7 WiFi only. Watch losts nearly 20% battery overnight and also with my iPhone 12 with latest iOS 16.6 which sees his battery drained.

I lost nearly 50% over 6 hours just wearing them in pocket !

Watch becomes a little hot while iPhone is warmer and hotter than previous days.

They are doing nothing: no always-on display, WiFi and Bluetooth activated and I wear the Watch on my body, iPhone is on the desktop.

Switching OFF notifications, do nothing in 6 hours : 50% battery drain on iPhone 12 and 45% on Watch.

This is impossible.

Weather is 24°C on my location.

I think this is company’s old practice way before iPhone 6s battery drain issue after iOS update that time they replace all battery which is affected and now they have many reasons to justify issue without concrete solutions and we as a customer who has out of warranty products no any other choice!!!!

Did you already try to unpair the Apple Watch and pair it again after that, setting it up as a new Apple Watch?

You will not lose your Fitness data.

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Wurde die Apple Watch schon einmal entkoppelt und danach als neue Apple Watch eingerichtet?

Dabei wird die Software noch einmal geladen und installiert.

Die Fitnessdaten gehen dabei nicht verloren, die sind über das iPhone gespeichert.

Jetzt nach Update 10.1 (21S67) akkulaufzeot extrem eingebrochen . Apple Watch Ultra jetzt 3 Monate alt am Anfang 3-3,5 Tage Laufzeit . Jetzt nur noch 1 Tag . Dafür kaufe ich mir eine Uhr für 1000€?? Wenn sich das nicht ändert kaufe ich kein aplle Produkt mehr . Ich habe seid dem iPhone 5 jedes Mal das aktuelle Produkt gekauft genau so wie bei der Apple Watch . Aber so geht es nicht .

Updated mine on the 27th following day the battery was only lasting an hour. On the 2nd Nov went to the genus bar at apple shop where the guy couldn’t fix it and due to his advice I have purchased a new watch. I feel I have been mis sold this. Not very happy and poor. What awful service.
