Finding very heavy battery drain with this update. From 9am to 10am lost 10% battery. Usually at 7pm I would have 65-70% battery left. Sitting at 50% right now.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 11
to apple watch teams
Terrible battery drain after updating watchOS 11 on apple watch series 7. The apple watch goes from 100% to 84% in less than 1 hours. In 8 hours, the apple watch is running out of charge. Worst of all, this is using it as normal watch, not playing music, not tracking any sports or activity from workout app, just putting in my wrist to use it as a normal watch.
Same issue after 11.0.1 of my ultra 2. Worst is overnight while sleeping and it goes from over 70% to 20%. I’m having to reeharfe almost daily where it would last 4 days usually with heavy use.
I’ve noticed this on my s7 it won’t last a day I used to still have 30-50 battery left b4 update.
but my 7 year old s3 still lasts a full day not updated
I got mine sorted in paired watch 1st time didn’t make difference did it again and that sorted it back to normal
I turned off Live Activities and charged it last night. Considerably better. However it’s still draining faster than watchOS 10. I wish I could go back to watchOS 9. It was far superior. If it’s still bad, I’ll unpair and reinstall everything. But I am sceptical.
Yeah, I tried everything. Unpaired and erased the watch. What a waste of time that was. Nothing improved. Have to charge twice a day now. Guess is the old regular planned obsolescence with software upgrades. I did shut off live activities, which gave me a slight improvement. Other than that I’m quite disappointed.
Nothing I tired worked. Shutdown and restarted both phone and watch many times, since unpairing and reinstalling software on the watch. Only thing that helped reduce the drain was shutting off live activities. I never had the always on display on, also have reduce motion on. Other than that, I have to charge twice a day or I’ll run out of battery during the night or in the middle of the day.
I have a series 8 and same thing... I use the watch only as a watch but a track my runs 4-5 times a week, the battery lasts from early morning to late night normally, but after the update, it was dry as the Gobi Desert by 2pm..
I have an Apple Watch 9, and have been losing battery power since the 11.0 update horribly. I charged it this morning, to 100% at 10:30 am. I haven’t even really used it today, and at 3:06 pm it is at 35%!!!!!! I have closed the background app refresh, and hope that helps. But what else can I do???
This is actually wild, as the Ultra 2 is supposed to have the longest battery life of all the Apple Watches and I was looking at buying it for that sole reason.
Apple dropped the ball big time on this one and it started with WatchOS 9 I think and they refuse to address the issue.
I had issues with my stainless steel 8 from the first year after an update and they kept dismissing me. Now after they said that the battery still has 85% capacity, they wanted $400 in order to replace my battery. How convenient
Happening to me as well.
I have an Apple Watch 7 (GPS) and after a two-three hour run (using Podcast and Runna) my watch dropped to 10% after charging all night.
This was not the case until the recent update.
No fix. Not better at all. Watch is off warranty and next step would be to get a new battery, but the battery is still at 87% life. I’m very disappointed in the update, because it’s been terrible and less user friendly and the awful battery drain. Still charge twice a day, for now. Also what’s the point of having any of the features (always on display, live activities, regular notifications) if you have to shut everything off to make the watch last more than 6 hours.
I just bought an Ultra 2 in July. Right outta the box, I got about 3 1/4 days. With the newest update, I have to now charge it every 2 days! I spent the extra money so I didn’t have to do the daily charge - now I’m back to every other day
Just did the 11.1 update today. Battery drain even worse than before. Tried everything I could to resolve the drain on previous updates. Nothing works. Wish I could go back to watchOS 9, which was superior, in my opinion.
I have also found that my watch has been draining very quickly since the update. The watch is only a year old and it doesn’t even make it through the day. At first I thought it was because I hadn’t put it on the charger right and it didn’t charge fully. However, that isn’t the case. Today when I put it on it was 100% charged. I looked at it 45 minutes later and it was 76% charged. All I had done was feed the dogs, make coffee, and sat down to watch the news. Nothing strenuous. The only thing I can relate this fast drain to is the update. Before the update the battery stayed charged all day and some.
Apple Watch Ultra drained x 20% in 2 hours and now at 50% after 3 hours. I typically get 2 days from a charge. At this rate my watch will be on the charger more than on my wrist. Come on Apple. What have you done. Someone needs to address this with urgency.
