Apple Watch battery draining fast

Same, please someone help. Now, my watch battery lasts no more than 3 to 4 hours

Thanks but we shouldn't be going to that extreme, this falls entirely on Apple. I spent a good deal of time with support and my conclusion is that they have no idea what's going on. Scary

Having the same issue with my series 9. When tracking workouts it drops from 100% to 0% in less than 4 hours. Totally useless.

Literally the same thing happened to me today. It’s gone from 100% to 10% in a few hours multiple times today. The newest update has been in preparing since 6 am today. I’ve already erased and unpaired and still draining

Mine started doing this same thing today. It was 100% when I woke up and I’m now on my second charge of the day at not even 3pm because I got the notification that it was down to 10% again. I haven’t received as many notifications today as usual either so that’s not the reason. I’m charging currently and the update won’t do anything until 50% so I’m going to try that. But very frustrating overall.

So I put my watch back on the charger since it was close to dying again for the 3rd time within a day. I went on my phone to the watch app>general>storage and deleted the watch os update. This resolved the preparing issue I was facing then I went to the software update in the watch app and installed the update, now it looks like my watch is back to a proper battery drain. Try it and see

My watch too, is suddenly draining ridiculously quickly. I’m glad I found this thread as it sounds the same as all of your issues. Fully charged when I went to bed last night, dead on waking this morning. Charged it twice yesterday. I’ve just checked for updates and 10.4 is there waiting but there had been no notification, which there usually is. Is anyone having the issues AFTER updating to 10.4 or does that fix it? I don’t want to exacerbate the problem. Thank you. BTW does Apple ever respond on these threads, as I don’t think I’ve seen any assistance from them?

Hey, all, have a series 9, 2 mos old, fully updated and started to lose battery dramatically every day for a week and a half. Just did a full reset and everything is back to normal. No more draining halfway through the day. I’m not sure anyone who has done this has restored from a back up, but I set it up as a new watch just to make sure there were no transferred bugs. All good here! Hope that helps.

I did the reset a few days ago and so far the issue seems to have been resolved. Also noticed a few other glitches have been ironed out such as the calendar incorrectly showing the wrong (previous) colour. Fingers crossed…

I had the same problem with my SE 2022, but i then opend my iPhone and in the Watch app, turn off

notifications , and dimm the light , that helped me, now it loses 5 % in about 4 to 5 hours. Again it also depends

on how often you turn your whist

I’ve just started experiencing the exact same issue. Battery was fine yesterday, but now drains in a matter of hours with no real use of the watch features at all.

I too tried updating my watch and it’s been ‘preparing’ the update for a couple hours now.

Same for me, bought my watch 6 days ago and today it was at 10% after 4 hours.

up, software preparing is taking ages

Same here. Mine has drained to 10% twice in 12 hours and I’ve been sitting on my butt for most of the day.

My watch has been in preparing update mode for over two hours and the battery drains quickly…..75% to 3% in less than two hours. This never happened up until today & I just got it for Christmas.
