watchOS 26 Beta Thread

[goldmac2006]

Since my AWU1 is not getting 27, I have started charging to 100% everyday. I started this about 3 weeks ago. Well the last beta, my battery health recalculated from 89% to 90%. I found that odd to go up.

weird! Mines hasn't changed since I had 11.x

Hi! Has anyone else noticed their Apple Watch 10 GPS (watchOS 26.5) is discharging faster in hotter weather? Before I went on holiday, it got through the day quite easily; I’d regularly charge it until full at 10 pm and it would end up with 30% of battery remaining the following evening but now? It discharges in about 12 hours. Today I tracked a swimming session of about 30 minutes but nothing else has been changed.

Yes, I’ve noticed that my Apple Watch Series 6 battery drains a bit faster during sleep tracking. Consequently, I have to charge it immediately after waking up because it won’t have enough battery for my morning or midday workout compared to other times when I was using earlier versions of watchOS 26 and 11.
