Q: Since watchOS 3 watch enters power reserve mode with nearly full battery

Hi everybody,

 

I have an issue since I updated my watch to watchOS 3. The watch (series 1) enters the power reserve mode unexpectedly with a nearly full battery. It happens once or twice a day and the only thing I recognize is that the watch stays black when I look at my wrist. It only shows the time in green digits when I press a button and I need to restart it by pressing both buttons. After the restart the watch shows 80+ or even 90+ % battery life and it works as expected for the rest of the day (if not the same issue happens again). Mostly my battery is 50+% at the end of the day.

 

Today I resetted the watch and recovered it from backup, but that changed nothing. The watch went to power reserve mode a few minutes ago with a battery life of 78%

 

I am really frustrated because it happens really often and I couldn't find any solution to this problem. Downgrading to watchOS 2 isn't an option...

 

Thank you in advance for all your help, I am really stuck on this issue.

 

Best regards from Germany,

Matthias
