From a full charge at about 10pm at night I’d wake up at 85-90% at 5am the next morning. Today from 100% I woke up with 40% at about 7am. Doesn’t last the whole day (no activity) it was fine with 17.1.1. Watch is on WatchOS 10.1.1

    Every single update people are surprised again by battery drain. Every. Single. Update

    Ugh, I updated to 17.2.1 yesterday and noticed at end of day my Series 8 was at 19%. Normally it’s more like 50%. I thought it was a fluke until I found this thread.

    Same thing happened with mine. I thought I was just imagining things but I feel so validated now.

    Power cycle (turning it off and on again) has fixed it for me. My Ultra didn’t last a day but is now back to great battery life.

    Strange. I’m getting around 36% the second day after 24hrs. I also didn’t get a watchOS update. I’m currently at 10.1.1, Only my iPhone got the 17.1.2

    i think i have the 7 (its been like two years, i dont remember anymore lol) and ive noticed that my watch just won’t charge past 75% most days? Like I know I have the adaptive charging on but it’s usually charged by my first alarm. I lowkey hate the new update because of it lol

    Absolutely. My old phone was running iOS16 and when I bought a new phone last week with iOS17 the battery drain began exactly when I switched pairing to it.

    I really hate this because now I have to charge the watch multiple times a day and there’s nothing to even indicate in the iWatch OS what primarily is draining the battery.

    Currently updated latest everything (release, not beta) to no change still.

    Edit: I should also add my watch wasn’t running iOS10 when the battery drain began, I was still on 9. I only updated in an attempt to see if it would fix it

    I have the ultra- had to disable AOD - now it’s back to lasting a couple days between charges. It’s really annoying having the screen turned off - but it was more annoying burning thru the battery life daily
