I went on a three hour hike today using WOD. I was surprised when I finished the hike to see that I only had 27% battery remaining, having started around 90%.

The watch itself has excellent battery performance, so I was wondering what caused the big battery drain?

I am on the latest 10.1 WatchOS and I had downloaded my WOD map to the watch due to no signal in the hiking area (presumably this would be a net positive for battery consumption?)

Interested to hear from other users who hike/take long runs using this app.

    I haven’t heard any other reports of massive battery drain using WorkOutDoors recently but, as others have pointed out, some people are seeing problems since updating to watchOS 10.1

    This is quite common with new releases of watchOS and often improves after a few days, when it has finished doing whatever processing it needs to do after the update.
