I picked up my watch yesterday and paired it with my phone. Left the house with 88% battery and 6 hours later it was completely dead. Now it won’t even recognize the charger. Dead. ‍

Bummer, but at least it happened to a buckeye

[doublepost=1537622487][/doublepost]I’m a little concerned about the battery life on the Apple Watch series 4. Mine seemed to be draining pretty quickly yesterday evening before bed. Before I went to sleep, I restarted both my XS Max and my series 4 and am hoping for better battery life today. I set it up as new instead of restoring from a backup.

Exchanged watches and the battery life is much better. In the past 7 hours, it’s down only 20%.

One problem was my series 2 trade in. Apple saw my exchange of watches as a “return”. This cancelled their buy back of my old watch. Now I have to go to the store to sell my old watch and hope the value didn’t drop. Ugh.

I’m down 23% after 9 hours. S
