Hello guys,

I just bought my AW four days ago,

And I found out that my AW battery drop dramatically.

For example, I took off my AW with 100% battery during the night,

And when i woke up, the watch's battery only has 40% left.

So, I went to apple store, and they said my AW's battery is healthy.

But then I found out that my AW usage time and standby time is almost equal.

Does that mean there are some apps running in the background causing my AW's battery drain?

What should I do????

PS, I have re-booted my AW and paired with my iphone already.

If you have Facebook/Messenger/Instagram installed on your watch they will destroy your battery life. I have messenger on my phone, decided to install it on my watch as well. For about a week I couldn't figure out why my battery was half of what it normally was on my watch. Deleted messenger and it went back to normal.

Hi assuming you didn't have third party apps installed, please repair 2 or three times, and let it sit for a day. It happened to me as well, and it even remotely diagnosed by the apple genius.
I did repair and unrepair for 4-5 times, and let it sit. Tomorrow when I saw the usage, it's already normal. Hope it helps
