Hello, all my fellow Apple Watch users!

Some of you might’ve noticed in the 10.1 OS update some of you like me have probably been experiencing an enormous battery drain .

Upon a lot of research, I noticed on the apple discussion boards. A few people mentioned removing the Moby face app as well as anything that was not native to the watch.

I am here to tell you that after that I am getting immediate results !

I’ve been off charger for about an hour now and I’m still at 96% . I haven’t experienced any sort of battery drain. I’ve also noticed removing the app from my phone helped out too.

I can’t answer if it’s specifically the Moby app or not but definitely removing that as well as any non-native apps from the watch helped !

I’m definitely hoping a patch soon because I would like to use the other apps , however, it’s good to know that my battery isn’t gonna be damaged now!

Hopefully this helps some of you guys out there !

Moby has been off mine since my first of 2 trips to Apple this weekend, nothing changed for me sadly, just have an expensive bracelet at this point. I’m not even bothering to charge it, not worth 3 hours of use.

3 hours sounds like a dead battery, not a software bug.

Apple ran the diagnostics on it, everything came back fine, and I bought it new alittle under 4 months ago. It sucks lol
