Why is my Apple Watch Series 8 battery draining so quickly?

Previous to the most current update available, my I watch lasted at least a day and a half now it will not stay charged for more than a couple of hours when using an app or about half a day not using an app

After an OS update, it's common to experience an increased battery drain as certain tasks related to the update continue in the background including indexing, you should only experience this increased battery drain for a few days before it goes back to normal.


If after a couple days, your battery is not back to normal, I would recommend unpair and repairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone ⇢ Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
