I tried this on my Series 6. Not only is the battery life better but the OS seems snapier and less laggy like it was when I first bought it. So thanks!

Awesome to hear. I figured it would help speed as well. But didn’t want to overpromise. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi! I did it many times but the problem still going, my ultra lasts 1 day and half now instead of 2 days and 3 nights with watchOS9… may be the problem on the iPhone backup that makes the communication between watch and iPhone problematic? Because I have the same backup on the iPhone since 5-6 years and I think that my iPhone needs a refresh. I should set it as new but I have everything set up perfectly 😢

@TheAppleBias 11 ай бұрын

Yeah that’s a big drop. So I am guessing it’s been happening for a while and non of the minor iPhone updates have had a luck fixing it?

@simonemannarelli6838 11 ай бұрын

@@TheAppleBias exactly. It started with watchOS 10 and when I went to the Apple Store they told me to wait the actual update and to restore it to try to fix the problem cause they saw a strange battery drain and they advised me to not send the watch to the factory just for a waste of time because the battery has no problems and they would send it back as the same

@TheAppleBias 11 ай бұрын

@simonemannarelli6838 yeah I feel the phone would be less likely the issue. But in your case it’s def looking that way. It’d be a pain but could be worth is in the end. Usually I take screenshots of my app pages to get them back in order. You could also attempt (if you haven’t already) resetting it to a backup (the phone) first to just check. Always wait a day or 2 for syncing to happen before you rule out it not working.

@@TheAppleBias It is my last chance to solve the problem , I will try it but not now because I need my phone as it is for holidays in USA next month so I don’t want any type of problems with passwords, bank stuff etc etc. you gave me the energy to do that man, I need it😂. Thanks a bunch!

@TheAppleBias 11 ай бұрын

@simonemannarelli6838 oh yeah never do it when you need you phone especially since it’s not a super annoying problem. 1.5 days is still useable with an Apple Watch. Annoying I’m sure compared to what you had but def still useable.

This seems to have worked for me. My ultra was suddenly below 10% 2 days in a row around 7pm or so. Very odd. My battery capacity indicates 99%. Removed the watch and added it back as new. It’s almost 7pm, just checked my battery, 83% remains. That’s normal for my Ultra. Thanks for the tips(s).

Yeah, I just had to do this with my Apple Watch 9 last night. When I come home from work my watch battery will still be like 60%-70% But over the last couple of days my battery has been almost dead when I come home…Something is just draining the hell out of my battery. Hopefully this works…We’ll see tonight when I come home if my battery is back to normal or not. Edit: It worked. Just came home with 65% battery life left 👍🏼

Just a reminder. If you have AppleCare+ on your watch, and battery drops below 80% (shows service recommended) you’ll get a full unit replacement FREE of charge. No battery or other part replacements on the watch. Without AC+ You’ll get full unit for battery rate. 👍

Sorry but I didn’t get it what the difference between having AC+ and not 😅

@TheAppleBias 11 ай бұрын

@A.H_610 If you have AppleCare+ and it is less than 80% battery the replacement should be free. Same goes if it happens in the first year. If you don’t and it’s after the first year of ownership. It looks like it now cost $99 to “replace the battery” in quotes cause they will really be sending you a new refurbished unit.

@@TheAppleBias agreed. I don’t like setting up as a new watch for that reason. But like you said, if it’s a software issue causing battery drain restoring from a backup just puts the corrupt software right back on the watch.

@TheAppleBias 11 ай бұрын

Yeahs it's a pain, but when it can give you back your battery it's worth it. I go through betas all the time and those seem to have the drains more than the public releases, so I probably go through this process at least 2-3 times a year.

I literally just got a watch for christmas charged it to 59% and I set it up, from only tapping the things at the start of the set up it went to 55%. I’m gonna try some of the things in the video but if they don’t work I’ll be really unhappy since I just bought this watch

@TheAppleBias 5 күн бұрын

Be sure the check the battery health make sure it’s at 100% if brand new. Also always give it a day or 2 after setting it up or even repairing cause there is stuff syncing in the background in the beginning.

@kaomao2486 4 күн бұрын

@perepe2 4 ай бұрын

Not sure if it was this video that helped or me switching chargers. After the unpairing, I realized I was still using a charger with a usb a port the end. One of the original ones from the first Apple Watch. I switched to one with a usb c port and now it charges. Could have been the charger and the unpairing. 🤷‍♂️

@TheAppleBias 8 ай бұрын

So Apple didn’t fine anything from the diagnostic? You could try unpairing it again then resetting the iPhone restore it from backup and then repair the watch. Could be something with the way the iPhone is requesting to sync with the watch that’s causing the issue.

I tried the ultra 2 made a video on it and honestly believe the price isn’t worth the upgrade. And had my series 7 and even tried the series 9. I love the looks of the series watches and really the size. But the battery on the ultra is just amazing. Also as a content creator the ultra still brings more views and it gets its own watchfaces which people like to see.

This unfortunately did not fix my problem. My battery life is going down a percentage every like 2 to 3 minutes. When I go into the settings on the watch, it shows that the battery life on the actual watch is 95% so there’s no reason it should be doing this. It started doing this when I updated my watch to the 10.5 update
