My Apple Watch Ultra 1st Gen was doing fine up until about 2 weeks ago or so. I had not used it due to medical situation was just in a bed 24/7 and about a week ago I start to use it as I try to return to my regular routine and the watch would go from 💯% to DEAD ☠️ in a matter of couple of hours, about 3 to 5 hours and it be COMPLETELY DEAD! and that was with out even using it, the watch would just be on top of my table or nightstand and it would still go from 100% to DEAD in less than 5 hours (and I always keep the always on display turned off / disabled and about a week ago ( 11/02/2023 ) I took it to the Apple Store for review & repair and they sent it off to have it checked. On 11/06/2023 I get a email that it is in the repair center and it is being checked out and than yesterday on 11/07/2023 I receive another email stating that it is ready and I may pick up now or before 11/26/2023 or contact to make plans if unable to by date. Today 11/08/2023 I go in to Apple Store for pick up and they said there is nothing wrong with the watch I say must be a mistake or why is my battery being drained so fast and the guy tells me maybe I did have the always on the display or I would have music playing continuously or I didn’t actually fully charge it. Really ? As if I am stupid or something.. I explain that can’t be and again explain what happens and the Apple Rep just repeats that my watch passed with all green lights and if I continue to have problems I may return. I thought it was a run around since the warranty is about to expire but now that I see this message I believe maybe the update also fixed my battery problem but why couldn’t they just tell that it may have been caused by software and a update has just been released and my watch updated to this new update which fixes a battery drainage problem instead of telling me that there is absolutely nothing wrong; everything was fine with it and trying to suggest it was all me.. JERKS! Anyways I liked to believe this update also fixed my battery problem, at least it doesn’t appear to be draining as fast as it was. I will continue to observe and see what’s up.. and I’ll update with outcome. Good day to all and good luck with your devices 🙂👍
