Terrible battery life

mnsportsgeek said:
44mm S5 Cellular here active with T-Mobile. I don't know what has changed. Maybe the iOS and watchOS updates. Maybe I'm not fiddling with it as much. I'm sitting here at 9:30 after a normal work day and have 52%.

At this point if this is the new normal I will be content. This is enough for a full day of heavy usage from me.

AOD on or off?
 
Ok I wore mine to work for the first time. Started at 730am with 100% and got home and started charging at 730pm. I arrived with 49%! I’m happy!

After installing wOS6.0.1 I notice a bit of better battery. 15% in 3 hours. Although it’s not as good as it should be it’s still better than what I was getting.
I think it has something to do with tracking steps and flights. Cause it is at some redic Nimber of flights climbed when I haven’t.

I would say losing 1,1% / hour is totally normal. Or even more than normal. It's a very small lose.

My watch loses 11% during the night (10 hours). Is it fine or normally, it should be less ?
AW serie 5 on WatchOS 6.1

In my case, at night in airplane mode, I lost between 20% - 25%, they have given me a replacement to see what happens with the one I receive

AW5 with Celular, iOS 13 and watchOS 6
 
I got good results by end-of-day on Sunday (61%), and would have had maybe 55% yesterday before I started to download the update, which naturally requires power.

I have confidence that Apple will sort this. The Watch is now the most popular smart watch in the world so they have to or it will be an enormous own-goal!

My battery life improved drastically after installing 6.0.1. on my AW Series 5. Before the update I was seeing a drainage of 5%/hr. After the update it got way better. Screen on time 44min and Standby 02:09hr with AOD on and noise detection off. I’m still at 97%.

Okay, so It’s not to bad for my case.

Actually, 74% battery for
14.45 standby and 1h32 of use
 
Brand new watch and using today for the first time. Brightness up to max, AOD on, Meridian Face, Noise disabled - 4.5 hours in and I am rocking 89%. Not bad.
 
Usage 01:00, Standby 04:27, 93%. Ok now for me. No AOD nor noise monitoring. 44mm GPS 6.0.1/13.1.2
 
Usage 1 hour 44 minutes, standby 5 hours 33 minutes. still at 86% One day old watch soi battery probably not optimized yet. . Battery issues..what battery issues?. Its as good as my S4 was.

Hoping battery life is better on 6.01. Have a SS 5 and typically if I golf after a 4.5 hour round with no GPS usage my battery goes from 95% to 20% or less. My Series 4 on OS 5 would typically have at least 40% left.

Given past release schedules and that there's just the first beta out so far, I'd guess 6.1 will release towards the end of October give or take a bit. With 6.0.1 out, don't expect 6.1 to show up super quick.
