Watch? Restarts cure almost all.
Any time you update your phone or watch it's very common battery life on the watch takes a dive. It's because the watch is very flakey when dealing with any kind of update (be it on the phone or the watch itself)
To fix it you need to in-pair the watch and then re-pair it.
I'm going to try when I get home. I can't get any response out of the watch. The screen doesn't even lite up. Hopefully putting it on the charger will help.
Try this: Press both buttons (crown and side button ) at the same time and keep pressing until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
That brought it back, thank you. I did a restore and re-paired with my phone. in 2.5 hours today the watch has gone from 100%-84%. Not terrible battery but still draining more than usual.
I am still seeing awful battery life. Any suggestions? Watch was at 100% at 9am this morning, as of 2:30pm it is at 53%.
I'm just sayin'. It's a beta which won't have the best battery life. WatchOS 2.2.1 was not designed to be 100% compatible with iOS 10. Sure it's compatible, but it wasn't coded with iOS 10 in mind.
