So the solution that has so far worked for me is to unpair and pair again as a new watch. The whole day yesterday the battery was terrible, lost like 35% in 2 hours, at times even on the charger it was losing battery. I had unpaired and paired earlier in the day but restored from back up and that didn’t help. So while on the phone with apple, from what they said they haven’t heard any reports of this issue with 10.1 and battery drain, couldn’t pull any logs as the watch kept disconnecting from the phone. So last night I unpaired and paired as a new watch left it on the charger over night to charge to 100 and so far its way better 5% loss in 2hours. The watch itself yesterday was acting weird, rebooting it literally took 10min to come back on, it was losing connection even tho on the phone in bluetooth setting it said it was paired, after the first unpair and pair from back up the redownloading of apps took hours to do. So as of now everything is working normally, fingers crossed tho!
Good to know. Thanks!
It’s not uncommon to see a drop in battery life right after an update as it’s runs all the internal stuff like indexing and data sync. I might give it a day or so before judging if the update really made a sustained hit on battery life.
These miscreants do an update, which is as about as intensive as it gets for a mobile device, and then have panic attacks and temper tantrums when the battery is used.
S8 here and same thing with me after update. Battery just took a nose dive after not, went to bad with 60% woke up to the watch dead. that has never happened before, talking to support now.
My S8 just isn’t charging overnight anymore, I put it on my official apple charger and check for the screen showing it is charging and by morning it’s just dead.
Same on my Ultra 2. I wiped it and set it up as new as well and it made no difference.
