Watch running down in under 2 hours ever since beta 5 installed. Anyone else or is it really my battery suddenly.
Battery Life horrible on watchOS 2 beta 5
No noticeable battery problems here over about two weeks. Give it a restart and a day or two – who knows what the system would like to optimize immediately after installation.
Reset the watch to factory settings (back up the phone to iTunes first to keep any data). My watch on B5 is lasting almost as long as on OS 1.0.1
I update my Watch to WatchOS2 Beta 5 yesterday, and since then full recharge does last for only 2-3 hours. Hope I could find a solution to it soon.
I had the same problem here, battery died within four hours. Most of the third party apps didn't work but after having unpaired and re-paired the watch the problem seemed to have disappeared. All Apps running as thye are suposed to. The battery life is now signifiacntly longer. However when running the workout app ( displaying HR) the battery is draining really fast and after half an hour of running the battery goes from a 100% down to 40%.
Hi Aj,
What fixed battery life and app install issues for many others is:
- Make sure watch and phone are on same beta
- Unpair the watch from the iPhone
- Pair watch and setup as new device
Of course, it's not ideal having to set up as a new device every other beta, but it's better than poor performance.
Max.
