watchOS 7 beta 4 battery life

Having the exact same issue here. Apple Watch 5 (Bought in February) and usually have 40 - 50% left at the end of the day with heavy use.

Yesterday after installing WatchOS7 and having a VERY LIGHT usage day (blood donation = no heavy exercise) I had 10% battery left at 6pm. Something is very very wrong.

Yeah I have a Series 4, been super problem free. Did the update to iOS7 over the weekend, 3 days ago, and it's been super low battery by the time I go to bed. This afternoon just got a notice that it's at 10%! Still about 6-7 hours away from when I normally doc it. Update the update, Apple.

Try turning the hand washing off. I haven't tried this yet but other people have told me that this fixes the battery issue.

I'm having the same problem. I ran with my watch this morning, then charged it again while in the shower but it's already at 16% and it's only 2:30pm.

We need an update please.

Same thing here ! I have a Series 3 and until WatchOS 7 I could easily go through a day, even two sometimes. Now I'm happy if I end up with a functional watch at the end of the day. Maybe the new faster animations?

I've updated my Apple Watch 4 to 7.0.1 earlier today and since it seems as if the battery drain has stopped (even though battery usage wasn't mentioned in the update notes)

I had the same issue with aw4 cell. Read about resolvibh it with unpairing watch and then pair again. Didn’t believe it to work but tried anyway and it actually did work. Now the battery life is as good as new.

Exact same issue here.

I have a series 4 apple watch. I was getting 17 to 18 hours per day before I had to charge my watch. I installed version 7.01 and my battery life dropped to 3 or 4 hours per day. I called apple and they said that when you get a new version installed it takes more battery life. I said that is crazy, that clearly there was something wrong with this new version of the operating system. She also said there was no way to go back to a previous version. She said I need a new battery and it would cost $325 for a service call. I went nuts and she changed it, said, "oh wait" a new battery is only $79. Cleary there is something wrong with this version of the OS. You shouldn't have to buy a new battery just because you upgrade to a new OS. Or at least you should be able to go back to a previous version. I have an Iphone 11 pro and my apple watch and my wife is about to buy an iphone 12 max. I am seriously thinking of changing my mind and switching to Samsung. They should either fix this OS or give you a new battery.

Same watch, same issue. Hoping next beta release will fix the issue.

Same issue on my Apple Watch 4
