iOS 14 or Apple Watch draining battery? Or both?

[dj1891]

Guys can I talk about battery drain? I got my Apple watch at the same time ios14 dropped so I don’t know what’s to blame really. But using my Fitbit and iOS 13 I would come home from work with 50-60% battery life left. Now using ios 14 and Apple Watch with same usage I’m coming home with battery life in the 20’s, yesterday it was 19%. So it is quite a significant drop.

On my phone under battery it doesn’t mention anything to do with watch or apple health.

Anyone else having this issue or any advice?

As a simple troubleshooting step, switch off the watch for 24h and see how the battery life compares.

Same problem after IOS 14.0.1 update with my 2 week old SE and my 18 month old Watch 4. At the outset was getting full 24 hr battery life on both devices. Battery drain now gives me less than 12 hrs on watch and under 15
hrs on phone with most background stuff shut down to reduce drain. Clearly a firmware issue caused by incessant updates and useless tweaks (for me at least) Who tf needs 157 monkey emojis? IOS Lite coming soon I hope.

I just posted a similar thread. I followed apples suggested "fix", 4 hours worth of time and effort and it didn't fix a G..D... thing.
