Hey all,

After updating my Apple Watch S4 to WatchOS 7 Dev Beta 2 along with iOS 14 Dev Beta 2, I was surprised to see that my watch battery drained from 100% down to 0% in less than two hours.

Is anyone else having this issue with the 2nd WatchOS beta?

So how many applications do you have installed on your watch and do you have background refresh turned on for those apps? Those are one of the biggest battery drains. I personally have the background refresh turned off on my watch (series 5).
