Apple Watch users report significantly reduced battery life after updating to watchOS 10, with some models dying in as little as 4 to 5 hours. The issue appears to be affecting users of several Apple Watch models, including Series 4, 5, 7, and even the very new Series 9.
While some users have found relief with updates to the latest version of watchOS (10.4.1), others continue to experience the loss. Reddit has a lot of complaints, with users showing their frustrations and looking for solutions.
The culprit behind the battery drain is still unclear. Bugs in watchOS 10, particularly in the initial versions (10.0 and 10.1), are the main suspect. Background app refresh or buggy apps themselves could also contribute to the problem.
Several potential solutions have emerged from user discussions:
- Update to watchOS 10.4.1: Updating to the latest software appears to have fixed the issue for some users.
- Restarting or restoring your Apple Watch can eliminate software glitches that cause draining.
- Disabling specific apps one by one can help identify the culprit behind battery drain.
- For some users, unpairing and then repairing their Apple Watch with their iPhones resolved the issue.
You should know that battery health naturally degrades over time. However, some users with older Apple Watch models report good battery life despite the update, clearly showing that the issue might not be solely hardware-related. Currently, the solution seems to be in the trial and error method, but if your Apple Watch with WatchOS 10 is charging slowly, here’s how you can fix it.
Apple has not commented on this so far. Hopefully, Apple will take note of this and provide the fix in the next update. Have you also had battery drain issues on your Apple Watch? Let us know in the comments.
