Like many others, I have been reporting battery draining issues to Apple for the past 2.5 months (ever since upgrading from WatchOS 9). I had high hopes that watch OS 10.1.1 was going to resolve this issue however it has done absolutely nothing.

I have a watch series 4 with a 100% capacity battery that was just replaced a month ago. The moment I turn on playlists on my watch, my battery drains excessively, I’m talking 40% in 1.5 hours. As soon as I disable the playlists on my watch and restart my watch, my battery drain stops and I get at least 24 hours out of it.

Does anyone else have playlists enabled on their watch? If so what series watch do you have and how is your battery life?
