I received my Apple Watch Series 10 on September 20 2024. Worked perfectly for one week then on September 29, it suddenly went from 80% at noon to 20% at 5 pm. I am tracking the time now but I can see that it is significantly losing power every hour. I rebooted, but it is still losing significant power. Unless I can come up with a solution, this watch is going back!

Apple Watch Series 10, watchOS 11
I took mine off charge at 5am today and by 12:30pm the battery was dead. Haven’t done any workouts. Infact I’ve hardly used it at all in that time. Up to now my series 7 that was at 81% battery health was lasting longer between charges than my series 10 watch is. The battery life was the main reason for me getting a new one too.
I also got mine on day one. It worked fine for weeks - then out of the blue it just drains. Charging time has gone from 30 mins or so to many many hours. I sent mine back and received a replacement. It does exactly the same thing. I setup as new, and restored from backup - it just keeps draining and then takes forever to charge.
I have tracked down the problem and it's not acceptable. It is my Iphone that is causing the problem. Both watch and phone on latest software release.
If I power off my phone (it's my work phone so this is not an option) then the battery suddenly stops draining.
I have removed most apps from my watch but it still does not help.
Watch has gone from 100% to 80% in less than 45 minutes. I have turned off my phone and the watch is still at 80%. So, there is definitely something going on between the phone and the watch.
Tried one more thing - turned off bluetooth on watch - powered on the phone - 79% after 30 seconds, then no more battery drain for 5 minutes. Turned back on Bluetooth on the watch, before 1 minute, 78%, 2 minutes in, 77%, 3 minutes in, 76% - Turned bluetooth off on the watch - dropped 2% rapidly then within 4 mins, down to 71% so I can only attribute this to communication somehow between the phone and the watch because when I turn off the phone, the watch stops losing power.
Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and watch ( pun intended ) a miraculous change. Not the solution but it works. They need to fix this - I have an iPhone 13 - once I did this, my watch is at 91% after 8 hours of being outside - they need to acknowledge and fix this as I need Bluetooth enabled on my phone.
There is an update!
My old watch series 3 lasted longer than this. Also the reason I got a 10. I’m tracking detailed times and % and will call them probably tomorrow. Something needs to be corrected.
Thank you. I unpaired it but restored it from the previous backup. If that doesn’t work I’ll set it up as a new device. I disabled live activities as well. I’ll let you know if this works thank you!
What do you mean by watch face???
Why is my Apple Watch 10 battery suddenly draining so fast?
