Has anyone else experienced mad battery drain on watchOS 7.0 beta 7? I’m draining 10% an hour while my watch is on standby on my wrist. This didn’t happen with other builds. Even though I filed a Radar about it, I want to know if anyone else is seeing the same experience.

Yes, I’m experiencing the same thing. Haven’t been able to isolate the issue.

Same thing on my 40mm Series 4. Tried turning off location services...same problem. Tried turning on airplane mode...same problem. Did a full erase and restore...same problem.

It’s even struggling to charge...put it on to charge at 50% and checked 10 mins later and it was at 47%.

Hope this gets addressed quickly...

Yep same here.
The watch is always getting charged.
It’s flat overnight when sleeping and is always flat during the day. I need to keep charging it.

Same issue. Did all of the above. Didn’t have any battery problems with the previous betas.

Same, watchOS 7 beta 8 (build 18R5382a), AW Series 5, 44mm w/ LTE, always-on enabled. Battery now typically goes from 100% to 10% in about 4 hours. I have to charge it like 5 times a day to close my stand ring.

Exactly the same issue with my series 4, it’s been this way since beta 4 (at a guess)
