Ive been having terrible battery life since 7.0.2 on my Apple Watch 5 and the wipes have zero effect. Apple has been ineffectual in resolving the matter so far which is surprising. Ive called the support line, ive had my watch sent in for repair and they report that they are unable to find an issue. I literally have less than 8 hours of life on a watch im barely using and they can't find any issue with the watch. AOD is off, ive tried turning off wifi, background apps, the works. Im starting to wonder if there's an issue with my iPhone connected to it since nothing appears to be off in their diagnostics however at ios updates I do a full fresh restore. I took screen shots of my last usage report when I was at 9% the other day. I think im up to 9 resets so far, including doing new watch total wipes. Its also taking a toll on my overall battery health which has dropped from 89% to 85% in a matter of a month. At this rate I should be able to get a new battery in the very least in Feb.

So frustrating.

I'm aware that this thread is for 7.1. But anyone installed 7.2? And how's the battery life on 7.2?
