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 I think the issue folks are reporting is more serious than it’s given credit for. We aren’t talking a slight loss of performance. I went from charging my watch once in the morning to 100% and having 50% when I wake up the next day. Now my device won’t fully charge without overheating, and dies every 3-4 hours. It’s not a slight change, but a very serious issue.
