So like many here, after updating to 10.1, SE 2 battery was basically non existent. It was especially crappy for me as I just migrated to my first iPhone and Apple Watch a month ago, so with the watch, pretty disappointing experience. That’s neither here nor there though. My watch would barely charge to as well. Surprisingly, there’s like zero info I could find of the beta fixes this issue, so I opted in and took the chance.

To get the watch to charge up past 50%, I had to put it in power save mode. I’m glad to say the beta did solve the issue and I’m getting better battery life than I did before. Over an hour since I updated and still at 80%, I only charged it up that far. I hope this info helps some others to actually use their device until a patch comes out for official.
