Battery drains ultra fast after a workout

Hi

Battery life varies depending on use and other factors. Examples are detailed here:

Apple's tips for maximising battery life on Apple Watch are detailed here:

http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/#watchtips

If your Apple Watch is experiencing significantly shorter battery life than Apple's examples suggest that you should expect, then the following steps may help, having previously resolved battery life issues for some users - including after software updates when usage has not otherwise changed:

Restart both your iPhone and your Apple Watch, turning both off together and then restarting your iPhone first:

• Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
• Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you have ever (not necessarily recently) previously used the Workout app and/or any third-party fitness tracking apps to record workouts on your watch, check on your watch to see whether there is a paused activity within any of them. If there is, end that activity from within the app on your watch (not your iPhone).

• If in doubt, remove any third-party fitness app from your watch.

Unpair and re-pair your watch:

• The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app.
  • When setting it up again, initially choose to Restore from Backup. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
  • If the issue persists, consider instead unpairing and setting it up as a new watch.
• Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
• Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Some users have previously experienced battery life issues in connection with using corporate profiles and/or Exchange Calendars. If you are using an Exchange Calendar, one or more of these steps may help:

• Archive your Exchange Calendar for all items before today.
• Remove / delete all old inbox messages relating to calendar invites (accept and decline notifications).
• Create a rule in your Outlook Mail account that moves all future accept and decline replies, immediately upon receipt, into a separate mail folder that does not sync with your iPhone and Apple Watch.
• Check your Exchange Calendar for errors.

Finally, it may help to:

• Remove third-party apps from the Dock and/or from your watch and then monitor battery performance after adding them back, one at a time.
  • https://help.apple.com/watch/#/apda1bf1a95b
• Remove watch face complications and monitor battery performance as you add them back:
  • Change the watch face on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Having tried the previous steps, if the issue persists, I suggest contacting Apple Support, making a Genius Bar reservation or visiting an Apple Authorised Service Provider for assistance, including - if recommended - to have your watch inspected and serviced:

As I hoped to explain, the steps have previously resolved battery life issues for users after software updates, when usage has not otherwise changed. I suggest that you try working your way through them, contacting Apple if the issue persists.
