Users facing these issues are noticing significantly faster battery drain rates than usual. For instance, one Twitter user mentioned their Apple Watch Series 9 going from 100% to dead in just three hours. There is also a growing number of complaints popping up on Reddit and Apple’s Support Forums.
To address this issue, users experiencing problems are encouraged to alert Apple, urging the tech giant to expedite a solution, possibly through a software update. Some users note that the problem was present in the watchOS 10.1 beta, and Apple did not address it.
Just recently, Apple dropped the initial developer beta of watchOS 10.2. However, the big question is whether this release will tackle the lingering battery life issues.
Earlier this month, iPhone users who updated to iOS 17 expressed similar concerns, such as battery-draining issues and iPhone 15 series overheating. Apple addressed these issues with an iOS 17.0.3 update.
The timeline for Apple addressing the Apple Watch battery drain issue remains unclear, but we will keep you informed as updates emerge, so stay tuned!
