From a full charge at about 10pm at night I’d wake up at 85-90% at 5am the next morning. Today from 100% I woke up with 40% at about 7am. Doesn’t last the whole day (no activity) it was fine with 17.1.1. Watch is on WatchOS 10.1.1

I had this exact problem and no matter what I disabled, it would drain in 4-6 hours.
I did a complete factory reset and that’s fixed the problem.Its 73% after being worn for about 10 hours including a workout. I think I’m repping a series six
Power cycle (turning it off and on again) has fixed it for me. My Ultra didn’t last a day but is now back to great battery life.
Yes. I installed Beta iOS and it’s been working great now.
After watchOS 10 I turned off auto updates.
i think i have the 7 (its been like two years, i dont remember anymore lol) and ive noticed that my watch just won’t charge past 75% most days? Like I know I have the adaptive charging on but it’s usually charged by my first alarm. I lowkey hate the new update because of it lol
Same. I was starting to wear it overnight to track sleep stats, but then it won’t last through the morning.
Same thing happened with mine. I thought I was just imagining things but I feel so validated now.
I have the same problem. And after ios update my phone doens’t unlock my watch
Do stop updating your device, that is my advice
After the complete fuckup of WatchOS 10 I turned off updates. It was the last device I trusted updates for.
Power cycle your watch off for 5 minutes. That fixed my issue
Absolutely. My old phone was running iOS16 and when I bought a new phone last week with iOS17 the battery drain began exactly when I switched pairing to it.
I really hate this because now I have to charge the watch multiple times a day and there’s nothing to even indicate in the iWatch OS what primarily is draining the battery.
Currently updated latest everything (release, not beta) to no change still.
Edit: I should also add my watch wasn’t running iOS10 when the battery drain began, I was still on 9. I only updated in an attempt to see if it would fix it
So glad i left my watch on iOS 9…
Took it off the charger and went to work last night and it was dead about 4 hours later. My battery capacity is 90% and usually lasts a full day, I’ve never had battery drain this bad before.
