i updated software to 10.5 and now my Apple Watch battery is draining fast
Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10
Did you already try to force restart your watch after the latest update?
Press and hold the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again.
Unpairing and connecting it again helped other users:
The only temporary solution I found that worked was turning off WIFI on the watch
i did this and the force restart and my watch returned to normal battery drainage after that
Did the unpair and repair help? I’m seeing 80% battery use in a normal day no workouts. Ultra. Since 10.5 update
I have done the unpair and repair and my battery life is terrible. No workouts and draining by the end of the day. If I do a workout, it won't make it to the end of the day. I was advised to update the phone to iOS 17.5 but that hasn't helped. I believe there may be an issue with the actual watch, but I'll give it a few more days.
I did unpair and pair again this morning and just did the restart. Fi gets crossed. Thank you.
You're welcome 🙂
