Hi, I own an Apple Watch series 6 cellular. After upgrading from 7.2 to 7.3 battery life has dramatically reduced. Used to use all day and night and when I woke up it had still 30% to 40% battery life before a quick charge. Now battery will be 5% before going to sleep.

please help me to solve the issue.

kind regards

I have the same problem after updating my AW 4 to 7.3. Battery life went from 30 hours to 18.

Please give advice what to do.

Cheers

Hey,

I'm experiencing a very similar issue as well. I have a series 5 cellular and I normally end the day on maybe 85% with light usage and yesterday I updated and ended the day on around 60%. Currently it is the following day and I'm at 45% where I'd normally be at 70%. WatchOS 7.3 is definitely causing this issue and I have no idea how to resolve the issue. Anyone have any ideas other than wait for a software fix?

Same issue here after updating to watchos 7.3 Battery drained from 100% to 48% overnight when it would normally be 95% in the morning. Also went to 20% after a few hours. Watch wouldn’t last 24 hours when 48 hours was normal. How do we roll back to 7.2?

I have the same issue.
seems like SLEEP is killing the battery.
fully charged before bed, 9% at wake up.

Apple, please provide a quick solution, and not take ages to resolve.

Same problem here. 7.3 draines the battery of series 6 completely. Due to this battery issue, it makes the apple watch useless.
My advise: don’t upgrade!!!!

I have the same problem with my newly buy Apple Watch series 6. After updating to 7.3 I need 2 times charging per day! Something is wrong.

Same, went to bed at 100% and woke up at 50%. I charged it for 6 hours too. This is a bad bug and it needs to be addressed ASAP.
