I have 10.2 on my s7 what did I miss??
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
My SE is on 10.2, and I get half a day out of the battery. 2 hour bike ride, killed all of it off.
Update: so after 100% charged at 21:00, now I have 94% at 4am. I don’t think I have any problem even with the previous update.
Thank God! Spent an hour at the Apple Store complaining about battery life and they blew me off.
sadly it didn't improve 🥲 before the whole battery drain issue it was at 30% after 24h (on maximum brightness with always on), now it's at 10% after 24h (1/3 brightness with always on) and the update didn't change shit. and I'm bummed to say the least
I have an s7, 88% battery health
Doing better than me.. I've lost over 30% after 4 hours this morning on my Series 7. This is worse than before the 10.1.1 update, and way worse than WatchOS 9.
My god I am hoping. Switched from Series 5 watch with a battery that would last a day (on old iOS) and a half to a brand new SE2 that dies in 8-10 hours. Driving me nuts.
Ultra 2….before update lasted 3 full days, after update only 2.5 days now it seems to be back to 3 days again
That’s good to know!
The same, I didn’t have any drain :)
With iOS 9 my watch battery lasted about 60 hours With iOS 10.1 my watch battery lasted about 20 hours With iOS 10.1.1 my watch battery lasts about 21 hours
Thanks Apple! Finally!
Wth. 😅
Fantastic now it last like a garmin fenix 😂
Ah is that what was going on 😂
Thanks, will update now!!
Oh! I thought my watch was draining quickly because it was getting old. I’ll have to update asap.
Update us if you notice any positive changes. Thanks!
My series 7 was at 100% when I got it in July and now it's at 86% battery health which is a little concerning. I know I wear it and use it a lot, but that's a big drop
Still on 9.6.2 because I can’t even think of a feature in 10 that I’d use.
My watch has never kept a charge more than a day. I kinda hate it because of that.
I used to be able to go well over a day on my series 4’s battery but with WatchOS 10 I can barely go a full working day.
Update #2: Last full charged to 100% at 9pm and it's 9am now at 86%. That's 12hrs. AOD off. Series 9 💪🏼
Its glorious, I swear my watch lasts LONGER. Today at 8am charged to 92% and right now its 4:40pm and I have 59%

I'm down to 80% after 3 hours so far today, so theoretically it'll only last 15 hours. Not super impressed when I used to still have at least 20% after 24 hours on WatchOS 9
Updated my Ultra last night and so far my battery has been worse. It wasn’t horrible on 10 for me but worse than 9, and now this update mine is bad overnight and today.
Mine is worse now. It would last 12 hours. The previous update dropped it to 8 hours. Now it only lasted 4 hours! 🙄🤦🏻♀️
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 🙂👍
Sunrise/sunset complication is still broken on AWU 😑
Mine is back to normal with the update. It was terrible before. S7 watch.
AWU1 here. Updated last yesterday afternoon, right after it came out. Didn't have drain issues before, but now it seems to be draining faster on this newest update - probably about 40-50% faster. Where before I would see ~20% drain during the work day, I am experiencing like 30%+ drain now.
Even now.. issue with disappearing weather compilations exist
Fine but it was perfectly fine already
Prior to the update, with 10k-20k steps a day, always-on display, 1-3 workouts per day, etc. my Ultra 2 would lose about 25-30% every 24h.
So far I have not noticed any change.
I have been using apple watches since the series 3 and never have an battery drain issue
My watch would be at about 30% after all day use and as well speaks it’s at 61% so definitely a change!
I had not really noticed it being that bad but I will install and see if there are any difference. Thanks for letting us know.
Be wary.. i didn't have extreme issues prior to installing 10.1.1 yesterday, but it is noticeably worse today - I have lost 46% in 5 hours on my Series 7.
Much better. Started the day with 100% at 9am to 95% at 4pm on my Ultra. Granted if haven’t done anything with it but use it as a watch
My 7 series never had any problems with the battery draining too fast. I wear it for 18 hours every day.
It seems to be better this afternoon. It has been awful the past week or so. It was down to 10% after about 10 hours! I had called Apple this morning about how fast it’s been draining. They ran a diagnostic and said it was fine. Update showed up while I was talking to them. I have a Series 7 that’s still under Apple Care, but they won’t cover replacement until battery health is 80% and I’m at 83%. I hope this update helps.
It was fine before then. lol
This has fixed my issues. So happy this came out
Love how the fix was for “some users”. Sounds like it’s the entire community.
I had no battery drain, so if it does improve battery life I ain’t complaining.
My watch lasted all day from normal use (listen to music all day). It drained from 100% to about 25% from 7:30am to 5:00pm. That's a normal day of use. It's back to normal now.
It’s considerably worse for me:(
I had great battery life before, but it has worsened substantially after the update. Ironic, I know, but it still sucks…
I’m not going to update it… I finally got more normal battery life after the 3rd time I did a hard reset on it.. it’s not exactly back to normal but I’m happy with it so far so I’m going to hold off for now.
44% after a night of sleep tracking. It’s 11:56 am battery is good on series 7 41mm Safari feels faster
Battery drain is even worse with this update 😞
It became worse. Specially when your watch face has complications. Fkng apple
