I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about how watchOS 10.1 has been killing their batteries. Oddly enough, I feel like I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum here — my S7’s battery life has improved.
When I updated to watchOS 10, I was always hitting 10% by the end of the day, while almost always dying in the afternoon if I did a workout.
After the update? It’s late and I’m still above 40%. This is a 2 year old device that is at 89% battery degradation. I’m impressed.
What I’m curious about is whether there is a complication or a face that is killing everyone’s battery, or if it happens to be that S7 watches are just not affected. Any thoughts?
10 was prefect no issues battery was good, 10.1 literally killed the battery, or whatever resource was running was consuming the battery crazy. I THINK I finally got it back to normal only after, I had to unpair and pair again without using the back up, doing it as a new watch. The battery is good now, yesterday it was dropping like 2% every 5min with out even using the watch itself.
Same. Had to charge multiple times yesterday. Left it on the charger over night and it only got up to 65%. Thought I was in for another rough day and threw it back on the charger after I did an apple fitness video. At 98% now after getting to 100% around 7. Still need to figure out my cell plan, the reset borked my eSIM.
Yeah mine is dead in 5 hours, happened yesterday and today’s. Guess I will try to reset. Series 7.
