Watch 4 Battery Drain

[SelbyL]

My watch 4 battery drained from 100 to less than 50% in about an hour. Anyone else have a similar problem or solution? Have reported but no response yet.

I dont think the beta would affect the watch 4 battery at all to be fair. I think that may be a watch problem contact Samsung direct. My watch is on 73% was taken off charge 16 hours ago

What you think vs. what is reality.
If I disconnect the watch from the phone, no issue. If I connect the watch to another phone, no issue. Can you actually give me a reason it couldn't be related to the beta...or is it just what you think?

My Huawei watch seems to be draining a lot faster also - only lasting about a day instead of almost 3 days. Can only imagine it is something to do with the Bluetooth connection that is draining the battery? Seen other posts saying their watch is dying a lot faster too.

My watch 4 classic I only charge about once every 48 hours or so. There was a large update of the software on the watch about a week ago for series 4 watches. Have you done the update. It came with an update of the Galaxy Wearable App also for the watch functions and if you have the Galaxy Buds a small update in the Wearable App also.

Yes my watch is updated

@SelbyL ,

Thank you for having reported the issue. Hopefully it will be quickly fixed!

Thank you for reporting this. I have exactly the same issue with Galaxy watch 4 rapid battery drain following the last beta update on the S21.

Make sure you report this to Samsung too Hope it will get fixed by the next Beta version.

I have noticed if I turn off Bluetooth and allow the watch to connect remotely (via WiFi), the issue seems fixed. This appears to be a problem with the Bluetooth connection to the phone, I would infer.
