Give it a few days to settle on all the various updates in the background, then reboot watch…Updated to the new watch OS 11 on a series 9 and now the watch is battery is flat half way through the day. Anyone else experiencing problems with battery drain since the new update?
Same for me on my AW9. I have been on the Betas since beta 2 and battery has been like this the entire time. Im ending the day at 20-30% now. It seems hit and miss, some people are fine and other have more battery drain. I even tried unpairing and setting it up as a new watchToday on WatchOS 11 my series 9 is down to 51% charge after 8 hours with no workouts. That's about where I'd normally be end-of-day after 16 hours off the charger and one 60 minute workout with WatchOS 10. Fingers crossed that it's just busy with after-update processing. Also noticed that my battery health dropped from 100 to 99%, which I suppose I shouldn't complain about after a year of use.
Thanks for the thumbs up. My series 7 41mm which doesn’t have much battery to spare (at 80% battery health) was doing fine on watchOS 10, but was getting tough to get through a day on watchOS 11. Disabling the live activities seems to have improved it!There are other discussions stating that the drain might be due to live activities. I turned that off and my battery is much better than it was with it on
Yeah, my first generation Ultra is getting hammered.Updated to the new watch OS 11 on a series 9 and now the watch is battery is flat half way through the day. Anyone else experiencing problems with battery drain since the new update?
Following up on my previous post, I'm happy to report that yesterday my series 9 was at 48% after 16.5 hours of wear and an hour workout. That's pretty much what I was seeing with WatchOS 10, meaning that the drop I reported on my earlier post was just the normal post-upgrade housekeeping, combined perhaps, with some extra battery use from playing with the new watch faces and features.Today on WatchOS 11 my series 9 is down to 51% charge after 8 hours with no workouts.

I definitely am! And I'm watching these posts to track how the problem will be resolved.Updated to the new watch OS 11 on a series 9 and now the watch is battery is flat half way through the day. Anyone else experiencing problems with battery drain since the new update?
