AW Ultra Battery Life Sudden Change

[C7 POWER]

I have the AW Ultra 1, and I’ve always been able to consistently get 3 days charge, the last several weeks now I barely get 2 full days. Anyone aware of battery draining faster from the last watch OS update? I’m always running the most recent version.

Reboot watch and phone
In the past I’ve sometimes observed this and reboot has helped

Mine did as well. I unpaired/paired, rebooted phone, all that stuff. But (saw this elsewhere, but don't recall where) unchecking background app refresh for weather seems to have returned the watch to what battery life was. Wore it yesterday for just over 12 hours, with a 45 minute Peloton session in there as well and battery life was down 16%.

Stupid question, but where can I change that to try the background refresh option?

Are you sure it is charging to 100%? I know mine has learned my usage patterns and generally charges to 70 or 80%. First few times it caught me off guard as I thought the remaining life was low when I would randomly see it during the day.

Thanks, changed mine. Does having the sound level complication drain much battery?

I have no idea, but turning those off/on as an experiment shouldn't hurt things.

Yup, I have mine set to fully charge and I always check when I take it off the charger 😊

Mine was already set to OFF, so its not that 🙁

I noticed the same thing. I was thinking it was due to putting a Ring doorbell recently. I may have to try a reboot.
