watchOS update as well, hopefully they have fixed the battery-draining bug. Prior to the most recent update, my watch would still have 50% battery at the end of a long day; now it drains after eight hours.
- sroussey 4y agoThis occasionally happens to me, and a restart fixes it for a long time.
- vuln 4y agoThe watch restarts with every update, right? It seems like my watch updates at minimum once every 1-2 months. How long is a long time; days, weeks?
- vuln 4y agoI hope so. My battery life is terrible and I can't get apple to do anything about it because "Battery health is above 80%". I've tried everything, turned off almost all notifications, turned off LTE when not needed, turned on every power saving thing I could and it still dies 5 hours earlier than it use to. I'm over it.
- pohl 4y agoI've found that a complete restart of the watch alleviates the symptoms for a while, so there must be some process that gets into a bad state.

- pohl 4y agoYes, I'm referring to me manually restarting, not the ones that already happen when updates come out. I do it when I notice it's draining faster than it should for my normal day of use. It gives me relief for weeks — usually until the next update comes out.

- tzs 4y agoTip to speed up watch update (assuming your watch and your iPhone are on the same WiFi network): start the update processes from your iPhone and let it go normally until it starts downloading the update to the watch. Wait until it gives an estimate of the time remaining for the download, and then go into your iPhone settings and turn off Bluetooth. The iPhone will then switch to downloading the update to the watch over WiFi which should be quite a bit faster. You will probably be prompted one or more times to reconnect the Watch. Go ahead and hit cancel. You must do this from the Bluetooth settings in Settings. Turning Bluetooth off from Control Center doesn't actually turns it off. It just disconnects most devices. It does not disconnect the Watch. Once it finishes download and says it is preparing you can turn Bluetooth back on.
- tunesmith 4y agoBummer, the watchOS update didn't fix it.
