Just installed beta 5 yesterday, gave it a full charge over night, and now its at 10% battery life within 4 hours - how did that happen? I have the original Apple Watch 42.
Battery normally lasted about 8-10 hours before installing this beta. No other settings or things were changed in between installs, which is why im looking at this as a Beta 5 issue.
Anyone else with original Apple Watch having this issue? Any battery saving tricks I should try?
Have you tried restarting the watch to see if it kills a hung process? Mine is doing great, granted I haven’t worn it yet today, it has 22 minutes of usage and been off the charger for 6 hours and is still at 100%. It is a S0 42mm.
Same here (very short battery life on original Apple watch) since updating. Restarting has not had positive effect for me.

I was on 4 beta 4 with terrible battery life described in my previous note. Just updated to watchOS 4 beta 5 and with frequent use over the last 6 hours the battery's gone from 100% to 92%! Looks like beta 5 solved the battery issue for me.

Same here. Restarting did not fix it.
Beta 5 is a "bad year."
