My Apple Watch has started losing battery so fast on its own even when I don’t raise my wrist or use it. I left the house with 99% and after just 2 hours it had reached 32%! I tried uninstalling most apps and turning off the notifications but it still drains the same amount, what else can be done?
Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10
I ended doing the Apple Support chat and then the phone call BUT my watch seems back to normal and I was finally able to finish the watch update. Some of the things they had me do:
1.) Reset the Network Settings on my phone to refresh the wifi
2.) Hard factory reset my phone and my watch (holding the buttons until the apple appears, turning on the watch first so it was awake when the phone turned on)
3.) Open the update screen on both my phone and watch
4.) And sadly just sit and wait
In total it took about 2-2 1/2 hours for the whole thing once I started talking to the support chat and probably 3 or so hours from what I tried before contacting support. But eventually the bar moved after leaving the phone awake on the update screen.
I just started having the same problem yesterday. I just turned my iWatch 9 off and restarted and charged it again. I'll see if that works.
Ridiculous we are expected to try all this trouble shooting and trial and error and switching off features. Is it too much for Apple Watch to just work as the product is sold to us??
I’m done with Apple Watch for good. Going out to buy a Garmin and avoid all this time wasting.
My Apple Watch series 9 has burned through the battery today whilst I’ve been out. Was at 100% at 7:30am and by 5:46pm it’s on 1%.
I’ve noticed in the Apple Watch app log there is a JetsamEvent logged for today. But obviously I can’t make any sense of it.
Running into the same issue with my Series 9. Mine started doing that all of a sudden yesterday. Never had any battery issues prior. Unsure how to fix it. Tried unpairing and restoring from a backup and it did not fix the issue.
Mine has started discharging after a few hours from the last couple of days, no background apps.
it also won’t update the latest update, it just sits on preparing for ages.
Watch is only 9 months old
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
This is crazy that I'm not the only one experiencing this. I got my watch at the end of September. My watch was charged before I went to bed, and by the time I woke up, it was dead. I charged it again to 100% while at work, and by the time 2pm, it was down to 10%. I do not have any background apps on. What needs to be done?
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.
I’m honestly glad I came here. It’s good to not be alone! I’ve worn an Apple Watch for the last 6 years and never had this problem before. I have a series 8 and yesterday it drained from 78% to absolutely dead while I was sitting at my desk working for 3 hours. In the time it took me to read a few posts here, sign in and begin this comment, it’s drained from 11% to 8%.
I thought it was only me, since I’ve gotten my watch in October, I’ve never even seen it go past 45%. So today when it was at 38% I was surprised, I figured it must be because i was receiving a lot of texts even though I don’t normally use it, but it’s almost 7pm, I left the house at 5:30 and it was on 90% there’s no reason it should be on 22% now and draining. What’s going on?? This is why I don’t like to jump on updates. Can they give an update to fix this issue, this is very problematic.
Exact same thing with my Apple series 9, noticed the battery draining today. Was charged last night, wore it at 6:30 and by 8:30a m I got an alert for 10%! Have had to charge it twice today- as I speak it’s already at 56% after fully charging 2 hours ago.
This happened to me for the first time today too! My battery was at 100% at 11:00am and then died around 5:00pm. I hadn‘t been checking the battery % during that time so it seemed like it just died suddenly for no reason. I just got mine (series 9) in January. I hope, as others have suggested, that it is just an update glitch and that it will be fixed with a new update very soon!
It just started today for me too! The draining is so rapid, I charged it 3x today. This is ridiculous and I just got it a few months ago. Open to suggestions on how to remedy this problem. The preparation for update is also taking forever
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?
Same here. I have reset updated (10.4 update) twice and it is still burning the battery so fast. I lose 10% within 10 mins without doing any activity. Not sure what else can be done or do we wait for a new update.
