Battery life watch OS 6.1.3

[Kraizelburg]

Hi all, has anyone noticed worse batt drain than previous 6.1.2? I updated yesterday my S4 and I have noticed much more batt drain than before even when it's sitting on my desk without doing anything.

Battery is exactly the same for me since 6.0.1 ...
No visible difference

You can have battery issues whith major releases that change a lot of things. But with minor releases, the risk is very limited, it's only bug fixes.
WatchOS6 is 6 months old now, there is no reason to see huge improvements or loss

Too early to tell. Wait another day or two to let the watch finish indexing files.

Does the watch actually 'index' files? My watch was having intermittent battery drain before this update. Hopefully it levels off.

Mine is sh*t right now. It’s 9:47AM. I woke up at 7:20 and my battery is already down to 86%. But like others said, I usually give it a day or two to settle in.

Have you tried a "Force Restart"? Holding down both the Crown and the button until the Apple Logo appears? Perhaps this internal reset will help?

I have and it did nothing. Personally I don't think the 'force restart' doesn't really service any purpose. Seems like something tech support tells someone to brush them off.

I had an odd thing happen with my AW 5 (purchased 2/6/2020). It was on the charger all night and when I attached it, saw the lightening bolt charging icon. Watch and charger on my dresser; nothing was moved. This morning put it on my wrist at 8 a.m. A few minutes ago I got a low power warning. Battery was done to 10%. Only activity was snowblowing my driveway. That's troubling.

Battery life with 6.1.3 was great. Currently running 6.2 beta and battery live still great. I usually charge each evening, but could go a couple of days without issue. AW4.

I personally don’t believe in all this “indexing” nonsense.

On the watch, or iPhone.

On all the phones I have had, what I’ve got out the box, or after an update is how my battery stays.
