Apple Watch series 4 battery dying faster?

[michael31986]

Ever since watch os6 my Apple Watch battery has been dying so fast.
Anyone else notice this? Maybe I can turn off something on the watch.
Any suggestions.

There are a couple topics on this with a couple temp fixes that work for some but not others. It was also noticed throughout the beta testing. You’re not alone and 6.1 beta is now available

Nope. Haven't noticed this.

😣 That's deflating. I DO plan to update tomorrow to 6. (I haven't updated my phone to 13.0, just waiting for 13.1 - Watch can't update until I update phone)

I've seen posts here with AW 5 and battery drain - but most likely "indexing." I don't know though, I assume OP updated on Thurs., battery drain is still happening?

so what are the fixes?

Restart Apple Watch

If something isn’t working right, try restarting your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone.

Force restart helped for my AW4.

I’ve had my S4 on watchOS 6 for 4 days now to settle in. I do have the noise app set to monitor. Today in 17 hours off the charger I went from 100% to 32%, no workouts today, 5 hours 18 minutes usage 16 hours 57 minutes standby.

I feel prior to OS 6 with no workout I would have been about 40-50% with the same usage so yes it is higher but I still make it through the day.
