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?
So my series 9 said it could not install the update overnight because it was not connected to power. How is a watch you use to monitor sleep supposed to update when you are using it? I cannot seem to ask for the update now, only schedule for again tonight. I will go and check and see if I can initiate it on my phone.
