Apple Watch has serious battery drain problem

Me too on se

Same here on Apple Watch SE

Same here.

S9 showing severe battery drain since a few days now. The graph shows a slightly different pattern during the day than at night but it’s abnormally high either way..

Doesn’t even show the charging process in the graph anymore. When charging in the morning the watch gets very warm and charging is slower than usual.

Have not unpaired and repaired yet, will try that next. Any other advice?

A lot of users are reporting terrible battery drain after updating to watch OS 10.4

As usual, no response from Apple

I wonder if they do any battery tests at all before releasing these updates

We have the same issues on my wifes watch updated overnight then the battery wouldnt reach full. Eventually we got it to charge but this lastes three hours. Not impressed my last watch was ruined after an update.

I have 10.4 on my own ultra 2 which is currently ok so seems to be the older models again being affected!

Yes, me too on this. I have a Series 4 and a Series 6 watch. I use very few 3rd party apps, nor do I use cellular, and until recently the Series 6 was great - would last over 24 hours. Now, even with light usage it's lasting about 8 hours. I've rebooted the watch and that hasn't helped, so I've reduced brightness and disabled the 'always on' elements (which is annoying, because I liked that about the Series 6). Interesting the newer watches aren't affected and I do wonder if Apple make much effort to align new OSs with older models (after the update I can't put any music on the watch itself). Was thinking I might upgrade to an Ultra, but since I'll probably go through this all again in 18 months am wondering if I might not be better with a cheaper non-Apple alternative.

Same issue, series 7. why is apple not responding or fixing?
