Battery life?

[rKunda]

My S6 ha been having terrible battery life. I haven’t been wearing it overnight recently because of different work schedules, so input it on after I get up. Last 3 days it has been dead before dinner. Any current known issues?

Not that I know of. Have you installed any new apps recently?

Now it might just be me, but what you said doesn’t indicate how long the battery is actually lasting for…?

Today: I put it on from the charger around 9am and it was dead by 4pm.

Definitely not right as you say. Have you restarted your watch in case an application has crashed in the background?

I have this morning. I’m going to try tomorrow. If nothing changes I’ll try resetting it. If that fails AppleCare I guess.

Maybe I’ll just re-pair it tonight just to skip a step

I had a similar issue a few months back & it ended up being a corrupted install of a third party app. Before I went through the hassle of sending it back, I'd try uninstalling all third party apps, and see if that fixes the issue. If it does, you can reinstall them.

So I ran a backup, I reset the Apple Watch and then installed from backup. Eve try thing is right again. In the time my watch was dying before I’m back to being in the mid 80% life remaining.
