Charged it at 7:55pm. Went to sleep with the watch woke up around 80%. It’s 2pm and it’s at 22%. I haven’t used the watch other than wear it to keep time. Its just doing the regular things like heart beat and tracking steps. Haven’t used it for work out or any of the other stuff. Battery health is at 99%. Just got this last week. Is this normal use? Thought it was quoted 36 hours battery life under regular use.

    Just upgrade to new ultra 2 and you won’t complain anymore, new one keeps battery for 3 days by using the same features as you have mentioned, my own experience 🤓

    It’s from the latest update. My watch would drain its battery within 4 hours. A fix that worked for me was fully resetting it. I wasn’t worried about the reset, since the data on it was automatically backed up during the process.

    Hope this helps!

    My battery life improved after updating the software.

    Last charged sun, just plugged it in at 15%.

    Problems like this is exactly why I have not yet updated my iPhone to iOS 17 or my watch to 10. Until Apple fixes all of these issues, I’m happily enjoying a stable iPhone and a long lasting watch Ultra.

    By re-sync I mean reset it, pair it with your phone. It’s might be having issues with wireless or Bluetooth syncing. I’m no expert but I’ve had this happen from time to time after a beta update.

    There was a bug with watch OS10.1 where third party apps were tanking battery life. My series 8 was dying every 4 hours or so. For me, uninstalling the MobyFace app resolved the issue. When 10.1.1 dropped, I didn’t bother to reload the app. So if you have the MobyFace app, it may be worth trying to remove it
