I had this problem where I charged my watch to 100% at 10 am and it died at 4:30 pm. I reset the watch for factory and it fixed the problem entirely. The watch lasts a full day ( 24 hours )
Got a tip for us?

S10 Battery Life

My Series 10 was fully charged at 8:15 AM and it was down to 12% at 9:32 PM. I was expecting 18 hours. I’m not doing any workouts and stuff that would drain the battery.
Here’s my battery life graph from yesterday. Pretty bad, I think. I rebooted the watch. I'm hoping that fixes the issue.

I seem to have solved my problem by doing this:
1) Let my watch drain to 0% and die
2) Placed it on the charger and let it charge to 100%
After that, I wore the watch and avoided charging at all. Regular use, including a couple of outdoor walk workouts. Always on display. Sleep focus mode at night.
The thing lasted over 40 hours before dying again! I didn’t know that was possible for a non-Ultra model.
The only thing wrong now is that in my battery settings it says my last charge to 100% was Thursday morning, which isn’t true. I’ve restarted both my phone and watch, but it still says my last charge to 100% was Thursday morning. Apparently others have had this problem, too. No idea how to solve that, but hopefully it’s not a problem.

On my new 42mm S10 I'm losing essentially 5% an hour. Is this normal? I think I have most battery draining things disabled. This seems too quickly to me. I'm a little jaded as I had an Ultra for 2 years and never once noticed or thought about the battery life.
That is very bad and exactly like what mine was.
After a forced reboot, it solved my battery issue and a full charge now easily lasts a full 24 hour period.
I did let mine die......not on purpose.....and it seems better. I will wait a few more days.
I was in Apple store today for another reason. They asked me how I liked my S10. I told them about the battery life......NO response.....just a blank stare.

That’s been my experience as well.
I’ve had tremendous battery life with this watch so far.
Update #2: After recharging to full again this morning (as a test, not because I needed it), the battery settings now correctly reports the last charge to 100% as this morning. 👍
Battery life is excellent again. Life is good.

My S10 46mm has amazing battery life.
I use sleep focus at night but this thing is a beast compared to my old S4 Nike AW.
I was just getting on to post about this. This is the second day in a row mine was at 10% by around 3 p.m. I was stunned to say the least. I’ve never not made a full day on an AW, even with my S8’s battery life in the 80s.
I didn’t have this issue with it at first, so I have got to figure out what happened the last few days - I didn’t change anything.

There must be bug in watchOS 11 with battery drain. I had S8 on watchOS11 beta and had battery issues. Then i bought S10 with watchOS11 final (of course) and severe drain happens every few days. See attached image. I hope enough people report this to apple to make a pressure as this is just terrible :/
My fiancé has a S10 Titanium and started having the battery drain issue as well. I erased the content and started the re-pairing process which seemed to resolve her issue as well.
Many days for me now have been fine with about 30-40% left at end of day, and then suddenly there are days like today when bam it's drained at 9 PM.
Edit: now there's an update available that states it's supposed to fix battery drain issues. Installing and hoping for the best.

My new S10 Ti uses about 30% of the battery each day. That is in line with my previous Apple Watch. This includes a one hour outdoor workout with GPS.
So 100% in the morning and you go to bed with 70% even with one hour outdoor workout? Sounds insanely good - Not even my Ultra is close to that.
My mom bought an Apple Watch S10 42mm and some days even without a workout it doesn't even last a day - terrible battery and really hope it's a bug - if not it really is defect somehow
Are you turning AOD and other features off? That sounds way better than usual.
I never have used AOD. Nothing else has been disarmed.
Others need to post their daily usage so all can see. I do not see my performance that special as it is close to my previous Apple Watches.

I did, and I turned off the live stuff - ended up yesterday with 44% at about 9 p.m.
