Excessive battery drain on Apple Watch after update 9.5.1

I experienced excessive battery drain on my Apple Watch7 (GPS and cellular). I noticed through the forums, I was not alone, and it happened after the upgrade 9.5.1.


Took the watch to apple shop, complained about it, they ran tests.

summary, excessive usage on the battery from the Bluetooth function.


I recommend users to have this issue of excessive battery drain after update 9.5.1 (like I have experienced) go to the Apple shop and ask them to run a test.


I’m sure Apple employees monitor these forums, and if Apple have a large base of users experiencing same issues, they will review how their update (9.5.1) has

caused this issue. My battery health is 82%, when it falls under 80%, they offer a swap out.


Apple Watch, watchOS 4
