Before the last update my battery would easily last all day and night. I’d even have enough to keep it going until the afternoon. Since updating last night to watchOS 10.1.1, the battery on my Series 8 has been awful. I’ve not used GPS or cellular and had my phone with me all day. Anyone else had this issue? I know I only charged it to 88% this morning but I can’t remember the last time I had to top it up in the evening before a workout.
10.2 public beta version worked for me (Series 7). Normally I would normally not mess with beta updates but my watch was useless otherwise. Last I heard was that the official 10.2 update is to be released in December. Watch is working great now. I turned beta updates off in settings afterwards.
Same issue.
Although a round about journey.
Updated when it came out and the berry life was great. But then went to the gym and GymKit had stopped working.
Unpaired and repaired yesterday and then GymKit worked but the battery was draining super fast.
Am currently unpairing/repairing again and hoping for the best.
It fixed the drain on my Series 8. I’m now seeing about the same drain post-workday as I saw before updating to 10.
10.2 fixed it for me
Watch os10 ruined everything
A company like Apple presumably hires the cream of the crop with their stringent hiring process.
Yet, they’ve been putting out questionable quality in design choices and reliability.
My watch will not charge now 😥
Delete all the 3rd party apps off your phone and it’ll fix your issues. Worked wonders with mine.
It did for some. Maybe factory reset.
Honestly, this is why I haven’t updated my watch and don’t plan to until I don’t see these posts anymore
Usually after an update, the system uses a lot of battery to index information. Give it a couple days to see if it gets better
Your watch is possibly caught in a sync loop with something in your iCloud account. It’s continuously trying to sync something. This happened to me about a year ago and it ended up being reminders however it could be anything that syncs with iCloud. The issue was on the server side and only Apple tech support can fix. It took about a week working with a senior advisor but one they determined what was caught in the sync loop the fix was quick.
This could be your issue.
How could you figure it out? Did you end up disabling some services?
Do you use aod ?
Yes I do
It did on my watch. I have the latest SE.
My ultra OG is draining like crazy after 10.1.1 upgrade. I easily went 2+ days without thinking about it but now it drains in like half a day wtf!!!
