Apple Watch OS10 battery life?

I updated back on 10/27 to 10.1 and my battery life is lasting 4 hours max! WTH?! I usually charge my watch every other day. I put my watch on at 100% life 20 minutes ago and I’m down to 89% already and I haven’t even used it for anything yet!

I have had Apple Watches since they first came out. I have never had this issue. This watch is a series 8. I hope they fix this issue quickly.

I turned off optimized charging. Let it die completely and then charged it. It took most of the day to charge which is unusual but so far it’s holding up so far and it’s been two hours. But it’s still saying I haven’t charged it since Sunday

Apple Watch 7 having the same issues. I let it die, and it does the same thing. I have removed and erased it twice from my phone with the same results. Once was a restore, the second was setup as new. - No difference.

I called Apple for support and they ran a diagnostic, it showed no issues. They asked me if I expected it to last more than 18 hrs. I explained that it was lasting on average 2-3 hrs from 100% to 10%. They were no help. They suggested I take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

This all started with the upgrade to 10. They would not acknowledge it was an OS update issue.

I am under warranty to the end of the year.

A few days ago I followed advice from the forum and removed third party watch apps like Moby. Different screen face apps removed and it appears to be back to normal.

I recommend trying this and then 1 by one you could add apps back in to see how they work.

Good luck!

The same thing happened to us! We had our phones updated with the latest iOS, unpaired the watch and paired again, ran diagnostics and spoke to Apple Support. Their advice was to send it in for repair!! Nothing wrong with the watch, it’s less than 1 year old. Restring my watch fixed the problem. History repeats itself - this isn’t the first time an iOS update caused the same problem and a reset is necessary to remedy the glitch. Come on Apple!! You can do better!!

Following others advice here, I deleted all the apps I could access off my watch.

That worked, two hours in on 100% I am at 95%.

No idea which app or apps are the problem. I lost over 25% just deleting them before doing a full charge.

Apple is not what it use to be. They need a refresh of leadership.

There is bound to be an Apple fix 10.0.2 out soon as this watch release is dreadful

After update my watch drain battery mutch faster. 4 hour now but before 1 and 1/2 day 🥺

It must be something wrong with this update.

I have a same situation 🥺

I tried that and it is same, draining battery in less than a 4 hour.

My watch doesn’t last any longer than 3 hours since the last update.

Same here, not good 🥺

I may have spoken too soon.

So I followed advice from other users and deleted apps like Moby and other watch face apps and so far my watch is at 70% after using it for 8 hours. Major improvement, unless I want to use those apps

Me too.. battery life is dreadful This is the second time in just over 2 years that Apple has released an update that destroyed the battery life.
