Charged it at 7:55pm. Went to sleep with the watch woke up around 80%. It’s 2pm and it’s at 22%. I haven’t used the watch other than wear it to keep time. Its just doing the regular things like heart beat and tracking steps. Haven’t used it for work out or any of the other stuff. Battery health is at 99%. Just got this last week. Is this normal use? Thought it was quoted 36 hours battery life under regular use.
My battery health is awesome on my AWU2 and it lasts 2+ days with constant daytime wear and daily 1.5-2 hour workouts.
HOWEVER, I wear short-sleeve polos at work so the watch face isn’t being constantly touched (hence, the display is dimmed and complications aren’t displayed).
Yesterday, I wore a long-sleeve button up shirt like the one you’re wearing in the picture, and my battery was at 30% prior to my afternoon workout.
Today, I wore my usual style short-sleeve polo, and my watch is back to normal battery consumption.
So, I’m not 100% sure it’s the constant touching of the face from the shirt sleeve that killed my battery, but I’d say I’m 95-99% sure that’s what happened.
Wear a different short sleeve shirt all day and see if it magically fixes itself. 🤷🏻
After the latest update, everything works normally again. Before that update, it was those widgets that drained the battery significantly.
Let me guess, modular ultra face ??? Since this awesone watch face, battery is melting like icecream on sun.
I think all Apple Watch models battery life has suffered since the new update. My series 7 would last a day and a half now it’s a getting about 20 hours tops.
Disconnected from 100%, now 89% after 5.5h. Last update. AWSE2. So, no.

this was happening to me last week. I updated it, then i unpaired it then re-paired it with my iphone - and it’s back to normal.
My battery life improved after updating the software.
Last charged sun, just plugged it in at 15%.
same 😔
It’s definitely 10. I have been trying to update for three days now it is become unusable. I get 45 minutes to an hour tops.
I get two solid days with mine on the latest WatchOS.
Problems like this is exactly why I have not yet updated my iPhone to iOS 17 or my watch to 10. Until Apple fixes all of these issues, I’m happily enjoying a stable iPhone and a long lasting watch Ultra.
Just upgrade to new ultra 2 and you won’t complain anymore, new one keeps battery for 3 days by using the same features as you have mentioned, my own experience 🤓
It would depends of your usage and settings
Update to 10.1.1, the most recent OS. It was designed to fix the rapid decrease in battery life seen in some models, IIRC, that includes the S9, which would include the ultra 2 as it’s the same chip. Regardless, that’s the first step to troubleshoot it. If it’s already on 10.1.1, try a hard restart, hold the button and crown down at the same time to get a restart.
As others have mentioned make sure you’re up to date. I had this issue recently with poor battery life. The fix for me was a restart of my iPhone first and then watch- hopefully this helps!
Power cycle it
