Battery life on Apple Watch Series 10 seems to have gotten worse not better with watchOS 11.0.1. Every morning I see it drop 25% or so within a couple of hours of waking. (I do not use it for sleep tracking and it’s on a charger all night). Charge it back up to 100% after the drop and some days it feels like expected some days not.

Could be an errant app or a lemon.

Anyone else seeing similar?

@WarnerCrocker Not sure which watch exactly he has but my partner was having similar problems. He turned off a lot of background processes and the smart charging where it doesn't charge all the way to 100%. That didn't help at first so he did a hard power cycle on the watch and his phone and now it's behaving normally. Not sure exactly which step actually is the fix!

It was crazy, he'd lose like 30% in the morning & end up getting a low battery alert by dinner.

@WarnerCrocker I have an ancient apple watch and haven't had any issues but I'm not on watchOS 11 with it. Mine might be too old to get updates anymore.
