I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about how watchOS 10.1 has been killing their batteries. Oddly enough, I feel like I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum here — my S7’s battery life has improved.

When I updated to watchOS 10, I was always hitting 10% by the end of the day, while almost always dying in the afternoon if I did a workout.

After the update? It’s late and I’m still above 40%. This is a 2 year old device that is at 89% battery degradation. I’m impressed.

What I’m curious about is whether there is a complication or a face that is killing everyone’s battery, or if it happens to be that S7 watches are just not affected. Any thoughts?

    My apple watch ultra 2 went from 60% to low battery message within an hour. Will recharge and check again.

      That’s wild. Can you list your complications and do you have AOD enabled?
