So I updated my AWS8 from OS 9.6 to OS 10.1.1 believing the battery drain issue was resolved and I would be safe… turns out I am now experiencing drainage where I can barely get 6 hours before hitting 15%. Previously I could go the full day using it for music, workouts and having always on display and background refresh on; at the end of the day I’d still have over 40%. I know it takes a couple days for the watch to optimize the update, so I did give it 4 days before I started to panic. I’ve tried force reboots and unpairing to no avail. I did submit an issue to apple, since I know without them being bombarded they won’t really resolve the issue.
During my unpairing/pairing I was given an option to restore from an old backup from a couple months ago, I believe it was OS 9.6 and it was from the same watch if not it was may AWSE1. My question now is, what happens if I unpair and restore from that backup as a fix? What will I be losing?
Just happened to me after updating a few days ago. I was on the phone with a tech supervisor for well over an hour doing all sorts or analytics and tests. The last one actually wouldn’t run and we had to call it quits. I went from only charging every other day to less than 10% in less than 12 hrs. Unreal! I’m supposed to get a call back tomorrow to try to run the test again.
