Finally! My 2020 SE barely lives a day, after WatchOS 10 update.

My series 5 battery has been much worse since installing watchOS 10.

Me too. Mine is so noticeably worse I started to think I needed to replace the battery. But I’m glad to hear that’s probably not the case.

Before the update I wouldn’t even think about the battery and just charge overnight. Now it’s a real crapshoot on how long it lasts.

i still have a series 3, the battery still last me a day and a bit without any workout. The darn thing won’t die. Let’s see if the series 10 has anything worth upgrading to.

My Series 2 would enter the chat, but it needs to get its Social Security Check first before it can afford a bus ticket to get here.

My Ultra 1 was having this after I did the ios17 upgrade on my phone and the subsequent watchOS update.

I lived with it for a couple of weeks then did a full reset with only a single face installed. I am back to my normal battery life now

They don’t have much battery life to begin with. Good grief.

It’s gotten much better with like the 7th gen onwards. But yeah, there ain’t a ton to spare.

Not much draining on my Series 8.

But I have noticed it doesn’t refresh regularly since watch os 16. Like every time I click on a complication it’ll give different results.

Same on my series 7 - I’ve not noticed anything. I guess it affects older models more.

I noticed it on my series 7. Before I got at least a bit more than 24 hours of normal use with the screen always on. Now it is getting about 4 or 5 hours less.

Weird - I’m still getting a day and a half, and I’m using the Snoopy face with all the animations. Since there’s no other complications, I wonder if it’s one of those that is affecting the problem
