I am experiencing faster battery drain after updating to 10.5 and 10.6. I have made no changes on my watch. When is Apple going to fix this problem?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 10
How interesting, another community user had the same battery issue on WatchOS 10.5, Apple Watch Battery Drain after updating … - Apple Community, heres what they said to fix this issue:
Try force resetting your Apple Watch. Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown until the screen turns black and the Apple logo reappears, then release both buttons. Your watch might take a few moments to restart.
After try unpair and repair your Apple Watch with your iPhone. Go to the Watch app on your iPhone, go to watch list, select the info on your Watch, select Unpair Apple Watch, then repair.
If the issue still persists, contact Official Apple Support.

After Apple Watch is unpaired, and then paired again, it may take up to 72 hours for battery performance to return to expected performance levels. Your Watch will have a lot of syncing of data, downloading and organizing data in the background. All that activity requires more battery consumption. Much of the activity will may only happen at night when the Watch is on a charger.
Has it been 72 hours since you last paired your Apple Watch and iPhone?
Ok. I restarted the watch and then in-paired and re-paired (I set up as new). After 72 plus hours the battery drain has returned to the 10.4.1 rate. So this workaround worked, but it’s not an acceptable fix. Again, Apple, please fix this problem.
When I re-paired last time, (10.5), no change. I just redid the reset and re-pair ( I restored from backup).
HOWEVER, this isn’t an acceptable fix (if it works). It’s ridiculous that I should have to go through these steps just to stay current with the software releases.

Then contact Official Apple Support
I’ve done all that. I opened a ticket, spent 2 hours on the phone, restarted the watch, unpaired/repaired. The watch is unusable now. On 10.4.1, 44 hours. On 10.5, 36 hours. On 10.6, less than 24 hours.
We are happy to have helped, but if you still are not satisfied, contact Official Apple Support
