I’ve had my watch for a very short time. I purchased it directly through the Apple website in October. It has worked perfectly up until the 7.3.2 update.
Immediately following the update, my watch would drain very quickly and unpredictably. Normally, I would get around two days per charge, and it never once gave me a low battery warning. So when it first died midday, I thought maybe I forgot to change it. Nope!
So now, here comes 7.3.3 and I’m super excited. Naturally I assumed that Apple has corrected the issue, and all the extra emergency chargers I bought would be lonely. Nope! It’s obviously known issue, just type it into a Google search. Yet, the problem is now even worse.
The first day with 7.3.3 my fully charged watch drained so rapidly, I had to fully change it three times. These are not cheap watches and this is disappointing.
However, not sure if this is a fluke or not, but so far it has worked twice for me.
Temporary Fix:
Power off the phone, then place it on the charger. This has been working well for me, and the charge holds significantly longer when charged this way.
Yesterday my watch died in the morning about three hours after taking it off the charger with a full charge. I powered it off and placed it on the charger again until it was at 100% again. That was at approximately noon yesterday. It’s now 5am and my watch is still at 73% which is more typical.
I hope that until Apple releases an update this might be helpful to others as well.
My apologies if this has already been mentioned, I’m a bad person and didn’t read all the replies 😳🤭
