Charged it at 7:55pm. Went to sleep with the watch woke up around 80%. It’s 2pm and it’s at 22%. I haven’t used the watch other than wear it to keep time. Its just doing the regular things like heart beat and tracking steps. Haven’t used it for work out or any of the other stuff. Battery health is at 99%. Just got this last week. Is this normal use? Thought it was quoted 36 hours battery life under regular use.

    Do you have any active complications on your face? I had the noise level complication on my watch face, and it ate battery because it was always working.

    My Series 4 is weirdly inconsistent when it comes to battery life. Normally, I wear it between about 7am to 9pm, and it usually has about 50% left at the end of the day. Right before I upgraded to WatchOS 10, I had a day when it was down to about 25% by 5pm. Yesterday, it was more or less normal (ended the day at about 45%), but this morning it went from 100% to 96% in a couple of minutes right after I took it off the charger. Since then, however, battery usage has been basically normal.

    My Series 5 battery seems to be dying more quickly also since the last update. I guess we have to watch (ha) it and see

    That sounds like a bug of some kind 🫤 i’d restart and then maybe even unpair and factory reset, then return to Apple if nothing changes.

      This is probably the key, even though it does a restart with an update it’s always best to restart the device anyway I just clears out some crap that might be causing an issue

    Update to 10.1.1, the most recent OS. It was designed to fix the rapid decrease in battery life seen in some models, IIRC, that includes the S9, which would include the ultra 2 as it’s the same chip. Regardless, that’s the first step to troubleshoot it. If it’s already on 10.1.1, try a hard restart, hold the button and crown down at the same time to get a restart.

    I went to the Apple Store and talked to one of the Apple Watch specialists and he said that he has the same issue. It is caused by the new update and they are currently working on fixing it

    My battery life improved after updating the software.

    Last charged sun, just plugged it in at 15%.

    Just upgrade to new ultra 2 and you won’t complain anymore, new one keeps battery for 3 days by using the same features as you have mentioned, my own experience 🤓
